Bookchoy pal Andrew Scott is teaching a series of graphic novel classes for teens. The classes are sponsored by the Writers' Center, and will be taught in Marion County libraries. Not many things make me wish I was eighteen again, but this definitely does. This, and the burning pain in my lower back.

----------------------------

Hachette Book Group USA (formerly Time Warner Book Group) is having their annual $1 book sale Saturday, June 10 from 9 AM to 3:30 PM. Everything is $1.

Hardcover novels, cookbooks, children's books, paperbacks, coffee table books and more. No children under 12 allowed in warehouse. NO EXCEPTIONS! (Even if your child is huge). No carts or wagons allowed (even for hauling around your huge child). They have a holding area for full boxes and staff available to assist.

CASH ONLY
322 S. Enterprise Blvd, Lebanon, IN-right off interstate 65.

Advice from a veteran:Go early! They can only allow so many people on the warehouse floor at any one time, so it is likely you will have to stand in line. Hachette employees will be on hand to help you out with your purchases (and to check ID's to make sure you are at least thirteen).

They really try to accommodate everyone and make it a pleasant experience. Boxes are provided, and there's a holding area where you can store the full ones. (A strap or rope is helpful for dragging the boxes [or for restraining your enormo-child when he becomes enraged that he can't get in.] Enjoy, and stock up! Great for Christmas and birthday presents, as well as self indulgence! Wear comfortable shoes, make sure your sense of humor is intact!)

Full disclosure: some of those parantheticals might be mine.
