I haven't seen the Patterson Erections in our local big box boox, but I do see him around a lot just here and there.
Do you mean how I get ideas for reading, or where I physically get them? Ideas are from other people's reviews, mostly. I pick them up from
PaperBack Swap, although that requires patience, or if I luck out at a yard sale or bargain ($1) rack at the local bookstore. Local small-town library, or bigger-city library. Last resort is used on Amazon - I have to pay $4 for shipping!
I wonder if Canada has an analogous set-up to PBS?
