What a beautiful city. Too bad I was only there for 3 days. I did release 3 books. Hope to get journal entries soon. During our conference training the presenters had drawings to make sure everyone showed up/came back on time. If your name was called and you weren't there... too bad. You only got one chance. And guess who had her name called and won the only giveaway that was a book? Me, me, me!!! Far-out! Bookcrosser wins book! The author was there to talk about her book and her career with the Dept. of Justice, Interpol and international extradictions of fugitives. Her name is Mary Jo Grotenrath and the book is The Interpol Imbroglio. She autographed the book and I had our picture taken together while she signed it (on my journal entry) She was a delight to listen to and very funny. On the first page of her acknowledgments she wrote: "Inasmuch as I wrote the first few sentences of this book on my brand-new laptop computer before midnight on January 31, 1999, I can honestly represent that it took two centuries to write." While in beautiful, rainy Portland, I took the Max and practically ran to Powell's. Once inside I was giddy!! What a super-duper marvelous bookstore. I bought two books on my wishlist and a t-shirt. And Portland airport has two Powell's and I bought books again in each of them. I came home with Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser; Whispers at Midnight by Karen Robards; Horse Heaven by Jane Smiley; and Under and Alone: The True Story of the Undercover Agent Who Infiltrated America's Most Violent Outlaw Motorcycle Gang by William Queen. Those who have been to Portland know what a great city it is. Those who haven't been there... go soon! ~Sissyrun~
