Lunch with a view

 

At the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club

 

A day in town is never complete with a visit to Vinnies, and so, after a lunch of Chinese food at the Soldiers' Club, I checked through Vinnies' book section for any hidden treasures.

 

 

I found a nice copy of Albert Camus' "The Plague" and an interesting history of George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh, titled "The Same Man".

On the lighter side, I picked up Jonas Jonasson's "The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared" - which was also made into a charming movie - click here - and Paul Hogan's "Australia According to Hoges". I wasn't sure about "Philosophy Made Simple" by Robert Hellenga and "This Book Made Me Think Of You" by Libby Page, but at two dollars each, I can't go much wrong, can I?

All I need now is plenty of time to read them all.
