I've read them, re-read them, lent them, ran out of space on the bookshelf. They vary from decent to excellent condition. Some were bought here, others were purchased off Amazon.

The Wasteland- T.S. Eliot -poetry
Outposts- Simon Winchester - non-fic -examines modern-day British colonies
A Corpse in the Koryo- James Church -murder mystery set in North Korea
A Spot of Bother - Mark Haddon - an older British man is losing his mind
Closing Time - Joseph Hellar - sequel to Catch 22
My Name is Red - murder mystery set in medieval Persia
The Ten Commandments - Dr. Laura Schlessinger - enough said
Wonder Boys - Michael Chabon - Toby Maguire appears in the film version
#1 Ladies Detective Agency - charming detective story based in Botswana
Self-Made Man - Norah Vincent - the author lives as a man for year
Diary - Chuck Palahniuk - spooky stuff
Does Anything Eat Wasps? - NewScientist - non-fic, Q&A about natural science
A Year at the Movies - Kevin Murphy - the author used to be on MST3K
This Side of Paradise - F. Scott Fitzgerald - sad but beautiful
Lolita - Vladmir Nabakov - horrifying but compelling
The Heavenly Man - Brother Yun - life story of a pastor in China
High Fidelity - Nick Hornby - surely you've seen the movie

I live in Yongin, but I don't expect anyone to come out here. I can meet up with buyers at the Wolfhound in Itaewon instead.

In response to the pm:

At $5 each, the whole lot comes to $85, but I'll hand over the lot for $75.
If you look at the last "books for sale" thread, you'll note that this is cheaper.

I'm interested in Lolita, Outposts, and The Corspe in the Koryo, if they are still available . . .

thanks,

Kermo, why the hell do you have a book by Dr. Laura?

Well, I live in Suwon and I'm not coming into Seoul until Saturday. But if you're going to be around then, I can meet anywhere in Itaewon after 11ish . . .

thanks,
