I brought home a small box of books today from the bookstore. The local artist's guild had "borrowed" them to use in their window display and of course they got rained on. Some were still in good enough shape to go back on the shelf, but most of them were too damaged to sell. The owner asked me to take them to the recycling center, but I took them home instead. "Better books than cats," has become my less-than-totally-reassuring motto.

Anyway, I haven't read any of them before, so I might as well throw them on the TBR list and see if this incident turns out to be the serindipitous water damage of discovery, or the un-serendipitous water damage of wasting my time.
