Meanwhile , I 'd been looking forward to the book sale but was mostly disappointed by the selection . I did walk away with two art books though -- Face and Installation Art In The New Millenium , which made me happy enough ) .

What type of books do I like ?

A: I like books on art .

Problem: ) We 'd just gotten home from our bike ride and I was rushing to heat up dinner , which was very exciting Morningstar corndogs and oven fries . Healthy !
