WANTED:

An unwanted copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Babylon Revisited and Other Stories. Or any edition containing "The Ice Palace." This story, which can be found online, is delightful. I can barely resist the urge to tear the pages from my copy, fold away the day, and have a nice Sunday conversation with the universe.
