Books in the trash? Oh, no. I'm sure there is a better place for them than that. You picked up a good one, though, this book got me through being stuck someplace for days during a blizzard. Literally! Enjoy it.

I Know This Much Is True is probably my favorite book of all time.

Good luck on finding more boxes!

That is so sad. All those poor books without homes! People actually get in trouble for picking up thrown away books? Is it stealing when someone has already thrown it out? That doesn't make sense to me. Anyhow, I am glad you were able to pick up a copy of I Know This Much Is True. It's a good one!

Wow, what I wouldn't give to come across a pile of books like that! I may just have to go hunting behind the local bookstores! LOL :P

I probably would've been worse than you, and I'd have grabbed a bunch. I mean, if they're in the trash, then I don't think it's technically "stealing".

I'm a 'scavenger'... I got both a very nice wooden coffee-table, and an awesome (really good condition) oak dining table, just because people had put these things out at the road for the trash! The coffee table had just a wobbly leg (took 2 minutes to fix it), and the dining table had NOTHING wrong with it (friends of mine had put it out at the road, so I asked, and they only got rid of it because they got a new table!) :)

Books would be a MUCH better find, mind you, but hey... whatever you can get for free, right?

PS... I saw you're currently reading Robyn Carr's "Just Over the Mountain"... great series!

I'm glad I grabbed a good book out of the heap. There weren't any others I recognized, but I didn't dig very deep. If books are in the trash, I'm guessing it's not technically stealing, but I sure felt like a criminal skulking around behind closed stores! I guess you can tell that I'm not a very daring person :)
