We're in the middle of a severe culling of our library (we need to free up about a bookcase and a half of space), which means *gasp* the horror of having to wait around in used book stores while they go through a dozen-odd bags at a time.

Best find so far: The Tale of an Anklet, being a translation of Cilappatikâram, a 5th century Tamil epic. Also an anthology of Ovid translations from Chaucer through the 1990s and a very pretty haiku collection, but the epic was the real score.
