Yesterday morning, I was walking across East 7th Street, when I saw this array of abandoned books:
 |
| Abandoned books. |
Why would someone lug these books all the way to this spot and not put them into the dumpster, I wondered? They probably had trouble lifting them.
This morning, I passed by again, in the rain:
 |
| Abandoned books in the rain, and a chair. |
This time, someone added this sign:
 |
| This sign. |
So these books were dumped here by a neighbor of Felix Caro, local book hoarder!
She describes the pile as "a marvelous library" — let's take a look!
 |
| Dog Soldiers. |
 |
| Desktop Publishing. |
 |
| Microsoft Word 4.0. |
 |
| Extreme Remedies. |
Marvelous!
The problem now is, with the dumpster in the way, the Sanitation Department workers won't be able to cart these books away to the dump!
