AAUW-Dearborn Used Book Sale Question of the Week

Where did Ernest Hemingway claim to stop writing during his daily writing sessions? 

As you ponder that question over the next week, consider what your life would be like as a writer, a detective or an aristocrat?  What about if you lived in the Victorian age, a castle or in another universe?  These are amazing possibilities when you pick up a good book.  Take advantage of stepping into a world you might not have thought about before.  If you usually read Romance, pick up a Mystery; if you are drawn to Historical Fiction, find an interesting Biography; and if you love books about Astronomy, there are whole new worlds in the Science Fiction section.   Most books are reasonably priced between $1-$2.50. 

The sale runs from Sept. 19-21 at DISC.   More information can be found at: http://www.booksale-aauw-dearborn.info/

And as for last week's question, What country did Ray Bradbury describe as smelling like "a really old book"? 

His answer is as follows:  "Every book has its smell. A new book smells great. An old book smells even better. A really old book smells like ancient Egypt."
