In My Mailbox #3

In My Mailbox was created by The Story Siren in 2008.
I've been on a classics buying binge these past two weeks, so that's the focus of this In My Mailbox. 

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkein: So this purchase might have been a little over-kill seeing that there are already three copies of this in the house, but I finally broke down and ordered the pocket 75th anniversary edition because it's too dang cute not to have in my possession.
The Epic of Gilgamesh by Anonymous: I've been reading up on ancient civilizations in this college textbook that I thrifted a few years back and part of the poem was featured and then it was mentioned again in a Crash Course video so when I saw this nice copy at Goodwill it came home with me. 
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: I've had this on my to-reads list for a while and I finally spotted a used copy of it and added to my collection, hopefully I'll great around to reading it soon.
The Journals of Lewis and Clark: I can not express my excitement over this find! My dad found it on the top shelf in goodwill - which he knows I overlook sometimes and I'm so happy he saw it - this will most definitely be my next non-fiction year.
