Those of you who have been spared Andrew's and my accounts of the ups and downs of our attempts to purchase an apartment should consider yourselves lucky. That said, you're still completely free to reap the rewards of our move. We've got a few books and dvds that we're giving away (among other things like furniture and odds & ends). Before you judge us for owning the titles below, I'd like to remind you that these are the things we're parting with, and we claim no responsibility for owning them in the first place.

If you're interested in any of the below, let me know:

Books for my singer friends (I'm guessing)

• Puccini Librettos in New English Translations by William Weaver
• Giuseppe Verdi by Francis Toye
• Molto Agitato by Johanna Fiedler (I highly recommend this account of the Met behind the scenes)
• Great Singers on Great Singing compiled by Jerome Hines (do I have a friend who doesn't already own this?)
• The Harper Collins Italian Concise Dictionary (I had two Italian Dictionaries-go figure)
• Le Mariage de Figaro et La Mere coupable by Beaumarchais
• Le Barbier de Seville by Beaumarchais
• Manon Lescaut by Abbe Prevost

Books for everyone

• Confederates in the Attic by Tony Horowitz (very funny account of the South--my first introduction freshman year of college)
• The Mother Tongue by Bill Bryson (very funny, though slightly outdated, foray into linguistics)
  
• The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
• Your Job Survival Guide by Shea Gunther (I actually don't recommend this unless you love kayaking references)
• Moby Dick by Herman Melville (see above, only switch kayaking to whales).
• Dune by Frank Herbert
• Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein
• The Boat of a Million Years by Poul Anderson (no idea, you'd have to ask my husband)
• The Definitive Book of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease (my husband swears he got this one from some coworker cleaning out her desk, neither of us has cracked it).
• Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond
  
• Vanity Fair Portraits - a gorgeous coffee table book
• Many, many Terry Pratchett Discworld books. For specific titles, just ask.
