She doesn't drink, so I'm kind of at sea with what to suggest for a first date. We end up meeting at this gelato shop downtown. We hang out for a bit and chat. I ask if she wants to walk over to this book store. We walk over. We walk to the philosophy section (i'm looking for Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, have not been able to find it anywhere). She picks a random book in the philosophy section. Turns out its a book that has no business being there, a Brothers Grimm book. She opens it.

In the back of the book is $700 in cash.

We look around thinking, surely, we're on camera and this is some kind of prank.

We took it. She buys the book for $6. Then we went to a concert together.

I still cannot fucking believe this just happened.

Simulacra and Simulation was on my list after Deleuze's 'the fold' but I never made it out of the rhizome

You'll have to report back if you find it

reporting back: after visiting four different local bookstores and not being able to find it anywhere, i caved and just ordered it through the last store i visited. sadly i'm too tired from working doubles all week to even look at it right now.

but i was able to find murray bookchins post-scarcity anarchism for $2, so that was pretty neat.
