Yesterday I went to Half-Price, turning in a few AP books and some other nonsense that should not be in my personal library.  Among the books I sold was a George Patton biography.  I received $13.00 for the lot.

Well, today I picked up a book on William Louis Poteat, a man that H.L. Mencken described as an "intellectual of the South."  Then I realized that biographies are important in my collection, as long as they are not of movie stars or athletes, and maybe some others.  But George Patton's life is certainly worth reading and his biography should be in my collection.
