Since a trip to Portland isn’t complete — indeed, isn’t worth taking — without a trip to Powell’s City of Books, here’s some stuff I picked up. The images and title text will take you to Amazon (where I get a small cut) but I also include a link to Powells for which I get nothing. Enjoy đŸ˜‰
“Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip – Book Two” (Tove Jansson). Or buy it at Powells.
“The Death and Life of Great American Cities” (Jane Jacobs). Or buy it at Powells.
“The Innocents Abroad: or, The New Pilgrims’ Progress (Modern Library Classics)” (Mark Twain). Or buy it at Powells.
“Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character)” (Richard P. Feynman, Ralph Leighton). Or buy it at Powells.
The Feynmann is wonderful. What a mind he had. The Twain is one I thought I had in hand at one time, but didn’t, so it has been on my list for awhile. The Moomin book needs neither explanation or introduction. And the Jane Jacobs book is one I can never finish in the time the library allows.
And of course, I have remembered some other I should have picked up while I was there.
