Book fix

Managed to get out for a book-hunting foray; procured a collection of Chekov short stories, as well as one of Wallace Stegner's. Also found a used copy of an assorted bunch of nonfiction pieces by a woman named Angela Carter, a British writer of whom I'd not heard. Title: Shaking A Leg. Got a new copy of a collection of her short stories, titled Burning Your Boats. A little dip into the first collection of essays and other items confirmed that I liked her voice.
Onward with Brautigan: Next up in the collection is Dreaming of Babylon. Main character, C. Card. Drift: Chandler-esque send-up. Oddly humorous.
