Re: The Aardvark is Ready for War. Camilla Send a noteboard - 18/06/2010 11:28:55 PM
I don't think I can bring myself to finish reading it.

I might glue it shut and keep it for the cover.

Or turn it into one of those secret hidey books and sequester my chocolate away from the Tim.

Hmmm.


That is so sad. It had such a good title.
If it is really that bad, I approve of the hiding chocolate idea. I have always wanted to have a secret hiding book, but I have never had a book that was at once bad enough for me to want to ruin it and cool enough for me to want it on my shelf. I am considering buying a "how to play bridge" book for the purpose.

Title I guess random thoughts - 18/06/2010 02:29:14 PM 703 Views
More the cover. nossy - 18/06/2010 03:07:29 PM 700 Views

Title if I had to choose, but unlikely I'd get an unheard-of book without a blurb. *NM* Legolas - 18/06/2010 04:17:23 PM 309 Views
Why don't you people want to play? Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:19:21 PM 691 Views
Okay, so the Martians come down and make you pick between McDonald's and Burger King. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:53:26 PM 649 Views
That is not a fair comparison Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:54:33 PM 631 Views
Yes it is. And you didn't answer my question. Why won't you just play the game? Tom - 18/06/2010 10:57:24 PM 689 Views

Stop spelling it wrong! Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:15:29 PM 698 Views
I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:16:42 PM 648 Views
Re: I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 11:20:31 PM 709 Views
Well, in that case - titles. *NM* Tom - 20/06/2010 02:07:19 PM 303 Views
really you just never pick up a book ans say "what the hell I will read this one" random thoughts - 18/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 747 Views
Very rarely, and only in the library if that. Legolas - 18/06/2010 05:54:48 PM 668 Views
I found one of my favorite writers that way random thoughts - 18/06/2010 06:12:00 PM 695 Views
I agree. That was how I got hooked on fantasy. Sort of. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:21:41 PM 669 Views
Maybe the scenario is hard to imagine but I have picked up some treasures by title alone. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:16:17 PM 632 Views

No they don't. I have lost on several gambles. But I have had enough success that I keep trying. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 11:24:09 PM 669 Views
Agreed. *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 11:25:10 PM 291 Views

Neither. I own too many books. Tom - 18/06/2010 04:52:30 PM 667 Views
I would cheat. callandor1000 - 18/06/2010 05:37:29 PM 710 Views
Huh. I suppose, since I have to choose, I'd go for cover. At least it would look pretty. Rebekah - 18/06/2010 05:56:43 PM 651 Views
I was noticing when I went to the public book sale that I am a title person. Tashmere - 18/06/2010 07:56:13 PM 642 Views
But I buy Playboy for the articles! *NM* Larry - 18/06/2010 08:02:52 PM 319 Views
Hmm, that's a toughy. It's really a toss of the dice; could go either way. I'd go with cover... lord-of-shadow - 18/06/2010 08:08:00 PM 724 Views
Neither would be the determinant factor for me... DomA - 18/06/2010 08:20:37 PM 756 Views

With nothing else to go on I'd say Title. *NM* j-whitt987 - 18/06/2010 10:27:24 PM 279 Views

Covers are there to stop you from buying books, if they are ugly. jh - 19/06/2010 05:34:22 AM 713 Views
Cover, I suppose. That's what grabbed me for Hyperion and Otherland. *NM* Craig - 19/06/2010 08:50:38 PM 464 Views
Fantasy books have notoriously bad covers. ajah - 20/06/2010 07:51:31 AM 647 Views
What about opening sentence or paragraph? Why isn't that an option? *NM* Tim - 20/06/2010 01:50:59 PM 292 Views
Because it is my survey Camilla - 20/06/2010 01:52:39 PM 679 Views
