two faulkners

I love William Faulkner.

I found these two in some book store, downtown Berkeley. They're the real deal: first editions, first printings. I had a bunch of trade credit at both stores, and paid very little for them.

I'm starting to get nervous about all this book collecting. My apartment is getting pretty full of books. I can't help myself. Last night I picked up another two books. I don't know why.

I read once that, among the great English language wordsmiths, there was Shakespeare, Dickens and Faulkner.
