YAAAAAAAAAY!!!

The Moonworlds series is awesome.  It has supplanted Discworld, Anita Blake, and even Star Trek as my favorite book series.

Is Anne Rice writing about vampire cows now?

Ha!  I didn't even notice that.

It's by Sean McMullen, not Anne Rice (who now only writes about Jesus, doesn't she?)

Yay! It came!

I love Amazon.  I paid $18.45... cover price is $27.95.

How can you justify spending that much money on one 450-page book?

I can't.  That's why I patronize the local library.  Free, baby!

(sorry, dc)

I have this thing about owning and rereading books.  I have a couple of books I've read more than 20 times, and I still enjoy them as much as the first time.  I own over 1000 books.

I suppose if I completely run out of reading material and can't think of anything I want to reread, I'll go to the library, but I just got Dune Books 2-6, so I've got to read those, plus Voidfarer and the latest by Mil Millington.  Should keep me busy for about 6 weeks.

If I read a book that hits home with me, I buy it.  But the initial read I do for free.

I never use the library.  I love being surrounded by books.  Even if I buy a book and hate it - it goes up on my shelves.

I do that, too.  Except that I do it with video games instead of books.

Ok, carry on.

I probably have a couple of hundred books.  But considering I read around 3 books a week, I'd be bankrupt if I bought them all.

I own a couple hundred books.  I love books.  I love the smell of old books.  Books are good.

It was good.  Not as good as Glass Dragons (Book 2), but still good.  I liked it.
