The Alachua County Friends of the Library spring book sale has come and gone. I love that sale! I had my Droid with me so I could look up book reviews using the Amazon shopping app for each book before buying... thus I bought a few more books than last time. Monday through Wednesday were very convenient for me since I work just down the street from the sale.
I think I only spent about twenty bucks total. I was happy to pick up some copies of books that I had already read but did not own. I also found a few books that I had on my reading list to watch out for.
The most interesting looking titles (that is, the titles themselves were interesting) were Great Mambo Chicken & the Transhuman Condition and The Millennial Project - Colonizing the Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps.
Here is the complete list of the books I bought at the sale:

Kaleidoscope Century by John Barnes
The Long Result by John Brunner
Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke
Disposable People by Marshall Goldberg, M.D.
A Second Chance at Eden by Peter F. Hamilton
