SonicChicago: Voices from the Hyde Park Book Sale
by Julia Wetherell
In the age of the Kindle, corporate America conspiring to fabricate the next morbidly themed YA fantasy sensation, and Oprah and Starbucks attempting to dictate the rest of the population's taste in literature, it's nice to know that some things stay the same. This past Columbus Day weekend saw the return of the yearly used book sale at Hyde Park Plaza.
Piles and piles of banana crates from nearby Treasure
Island housed metric tons of books donated by Hyde Parkers, romance novels
juxtaposed with philosophical treatises and cookbooks featuring savory jello
recipes. I found the event tailored nicely to my interests in vintage dime-novel
cover art, high-concept
kid's picture books, and strange unlicensed Star Trek reference
books with hilarious
illustrations.

Some time ago, I needed to buy a car for my business but I did not earn enough money and couldn't order anything. Thank God my mate adviced to try to take the home loans at reliable creditors. Therefore, I did so and used to be happy with my student loan.
