speaking of books (red sox content)

hey folks,

i'm moving in about 10 days, and this is the kind of
thing that arises...

a couple years ago, i picked up a dozen or so
paperbacks for a buck at a yard sale.  i retained a
few and doled out a couple dupes to the 3 gentlemen
with whom i traffic books to and fro.

everyone, including myself, had kobo abé's *the woman
in the dunes* and nietzsche's *beyond good and evil*. 
these two are worth virtually nothing to me in trade
to a bookstore - and they've been sitting for too long
already.

dandy reading copies, worn and slightly yellowed, but
not beat, the nietzsche has pen markings on two or
three pages, the abe novel is completely clean.  the
nietzsche translation is by walter kaufmann.  i don't
think i've actually read all of *beyond...*, but i'm
pretty sure that it contains his general views of the
"revaluation of all values" and man as "a field of
warring instincts."  i read the abé novel in '96 or so
- it's considered to be one of the classics of modern
japanese lit.  i won't say i was unimpressed, but i
was reading "sexier" stuff at the time... jung and
some writers who do strange things with narrative
time.  the novel is pretty linear; comparisons to
camus definitely aren't off the mark.   

as long as you're going to give them a good home, free
is free - i'll happily pick up the buck on postage
("um, could i ship this 14th class?") :)  seriously,
post me offline if you want these - and you're taking
them both  :)

barry - you do know that spaceman lee just published
his revisionist red sox history, right?
