katestineWhy is it I can sleep 11 hours at my parents house, but in my own apt, after 7 hours, my body decides I clearly must get up, even though it's dark out?
Anyone have a fave bookstore in NYC (or Boston or DC?) to which they like selling books? It's been 4? years since the paperback book store on the UWS closed and I still miss it. The Strand's book-buying policies are unhelpful in this case and I have quite a few to get rid of.
Anyone have a fave charity that works with the homeless? A comment on lj reminded me of a thanksgiving offering I need to leave. I'm thinking Housing Works - they work with the mentally ill and I'm sure some people think deliberately walking somewhere cold so you can sleep on the ground is a sign of mental illness - but I'm open to suggestions.
I have a lot of other thoughts, but I might go to work early today and do a CrossFit workout at lunch instead. It's been a long time since I could...

Date: 2008-10-02 02:28 pm (UTC)I sell to Raven Used Books in Harvard for non-fiction. For fiction, particularly science fiction, I either donate to MITSFS for fine credit if it's a first copy or a first circulating copy for MITSFS, and sell to the Harvard Book Store if it's not. The things they don't take (usually the really popular stuff, etc.) I give to my local library or Goodwill.

Date: 2008-10-02 02:32 pm (UTC)Hm, maybe I should bring the books up this weekend - I'm looking to get rid of 3 or 4 of the Merry Gentry books and I might get rid of the Alice Borchardt books as well. I also have a pile of popular business books.
