books bought today
 
The Winter Queen - Boris Akunin
Gollancz Fantasy Masterworks #46 Sea-Kings of Mars and Otherworldly Stories - Leigh Brackett
Penguin Classics The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
Gollancz Science Fiction Masterworks #16 The Dispossessed - Ursula K. leGuin
Conjure Wife - Fritz Leiber
Elric the Stealer of Souls - Michael Moorcock
I had wanted to also get Bloods A Rover by James Ellroy, but not one bookstore in Melbourne city centre had it!

In buying The Winter Queen and Stealer of Souls, I have committed myself to the Erast Fandorin and Chronicles of The Last Emperor of Melnibone series.

I wouldn't know what to do or how to do it.
And not exactly a career or decent income.

there isn't much to do. Put books on shelves. Sell them. Talk to customers about them.

There is nothing wrong with a career in retail when yr other option is what you currently don't do. Maybe you could have yr own book store. The income isn't that bad.

Oh yeah I'd just go out and start & manage a bookstore. My current situation suggests I would be able to cope with that and know what to do with no problems.

I work in a bookstore. It is the easiest job ever, but now I hate books.

I wish I had a job at a bookstore so that I could make money to spend on books.

I got Blood's A Rover today!
Soon as I finish Sea-Kings I shall begin the American Underworld series.
