All these books in your room? What are you....a reading machine? heheh Hope you're not suffocated by now.
alex: Yep. Though it didn't help that I saw an episode of the Dresden Files and ended up being rather confused on the tone of the story.
don: Heh you just plundered the horror section, man. Sorry, vin got first dibs on the Julian May book.
daniel: Hiya! Welcome aboard and welcome to blogging! Yep, have lots of books though the list you see right now ain't even a fifth of what I've got on my shelves (both read and unread).
Are you kidding? $15-20 for a paperback? I can get them for a quarter!!!
Just kiddin'. Hope they go to a good home.
Thanks bc! If the Dresden novels are still available, I'll take Alex's advice and get them too. I didn't really no about them.
See you soon. :)
gabe: Hey man! I see you're back on the blogging saddle again and not that puny wordpress you're using. And my pricing is local currency so that's US$1 to PhP45.50 which means it's very, very low. (The prices are less than a quarter actually.)
vin: Yow! Too late, Don got the Dresden book first! :-(
oh no! someone got to the david sdaris first! :(
Heh sorry 'bout that.
add A Fire Upon the Deep- Vernor Vinge and The Secret of Life- Paul McAuley to my list.
