Otto enables Paul Theroux

I couldn't find my copy of Paul Theroux's Kingdom by the Sea to reread so I bought a second hand copy from Amazon marketplace. I get a 1st edition hardback for less than the cost of a new paperback. It looked like it hadn't been read but I found a bookmark on page 33 so I guess it is partially read. The bookmark had a lot of handscribbled greek words on it with English definitions. The book also had the original 1983 receipt tucked in the front.

It is just more fun to settle back in one's chair and read a heavy hardback than a bendy paperback. And now Otto is sleeping in I might get to read it.
