Libraries are great, but I could never subsist entirely off of them. For instance, this month I read Brandon Sanderson's works. No way I could pull that off with a library; I'd have to wait weeks between each book, if the library carried it at all.


I'm curious. What the hell kind of library do you go to that might not have Sandersons books? I mean, that sounds absolutely silly. Further, I also find it hard to believe you'd have to wait long. My family is from a small town in Maine, and our library has like 2-3 copies of each book. I mean, its current, well selling material.

Sometimes books are worth the price. :P

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

My mind isn't always in the gutter, it just has VIP access

It costs a little over £6 at abebooks Camilla - 21/04/2011 10:21:29 AM 1126 Views
Why is it figuring pounds if it's from a seller in New Mexico? Panorphaeon - 21/04/2011 11:12:05 AM 1067 Views
