The Secret Life Of Lauren

The other day I spent 80 dollars at Barnes and Nobel. Mostly on my summer reading goal of finishing everything John Irving and Jack Kerouac. I know VERY different writers, I also bought some newly publish “Mermaid Chair” by the lady who wrote “ The Secret Life of Bee’s” but only because I started it at my mothers house and never had the chance to finish it. I also bought a book called something along the lines of “What Happy People Know” with secret hopes I might actually find something out. But something else caught my eye, and it was the table where you could get 3 books for 6 dollars, most even hard back. I know they were in this pile because they didn’t sell. So I boughtsix of them purely feeling guilty. Guilty at first because I felt someday I would write a book that would only make it to the 3 for 6 dollars table, and I would hope some poor soul would buy it. And then guilty because I realized how much it would fulfill my dream to see a book in published form even if it was on the 3 for 6 dollars table.
