Books in la Buissière
The village of la Buissière had a sort of book festival this morning, complete with a room full of local authors. It feels strangely uncomfortable to thumb through someone's work right in front of the author. I didn't end up buying anything in French.
But I did turn up three Philip K. Dick paperbacks for a total of 1 euro 50, which Nathalie ponied up since I almost never have any cash. (I'm waiting for my biometrics to take over from coins.) He always had terrible titles and these are no better: The Penultimate Truth, Counter-Clock World, Our Friends from Frolix 8. But his science fiction is usually pretty good, sometimes almost unbelievably so.
