On books...

Looking for books (especially older, or difficult to come by books) has become somewhat of a hobby for me lately. I get a lot of enjoyment out of looking in car boot sales, flea markets and charity shops for books, mostly old, but some new if I'm lucky. I don't even mind the funny looks I get if I go into a shop two or three times a week just to browse.
It always surprises me when I look in these places at what people put out for flea markets or donate to charity shops. I've found some absolute bargains sometimes, although you have to look carefully for any fantasy or SF. About 90% of the books in these charity shops or boot sales here are chick lit, followed by crime novels. I don't mind the crime novels, though.
There's always a couple of copies of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, too. I don't think I've ever been inclined to read that book.
