I finished 4 Fantastic Novels by Daniel Pinkwater while in Seattle this weekend. Well, actually, I finished the 2 novels out of the 4 that I hadn't previously read. I really wish I'd discovered Pinkwater when I was younger, not because I'm too old for him now, but because I'd have really appreciated them when I was in about junior high. If I ever have kids, they'll be exposed to Pinkwater. When my friends' kids get a little older, they'll probably get Pinkwater as a gift at some point.

I didn't hit most of my usual book spots in Seattle while I was there this weekend, only 1 bookstore I hadn't been to before and only 1 book there. I did however stop by the Powell's tent sale again before I left town on Friday. This of course made me hit even worse traffic than I would have otherwise, but I think it was worth it.
