Books gained on trip home:

Mathematics for Everyone, Howard F. Fehr and Max A. Sobel - discovered when Grandma cleaned out her house and shipped back from TX for me

1984, George Orwell - been meaning to re-read this one, so picked up my old copy from high school while I was home

Running on Empty: How the Democratic and Republican Parties are Bankrupting Our Future and What Americans Can Do About It, Peter G. Peterson - on loan from Dad; basically about how government funding is drying up and probably won't ever (or at least, in our lifetimes) return to levels we're used to

Soul Picnic: The Music and Passion of Laura Nyro, Michele Kort - on loan from Dad
