    what's your book shopping process?

    Most of my book buying has been online, but I often go to Hastings and browse there for either catchy bargain books, used books, or just interesting titles-- if i find something that isn't bargain or used that i like I'll go to amazon to buy it, since it's always cheaper, tax and shipping free...

    Wolves in Literature

    I remember reading a short story in school called "the Interloper" where two enemies find themselves trapped under a fallen tree, but instead of being rescued by their men they are visited by a pack of hungry wolves.

    Harry Potter Seventh Book Pre-Sales Speculations and Discussions

    There certainly seems to be some foreshadow that Ron will die, and I think he will. I'm not sure who else might die.. my guess is the story will have a lot more than 2 deaths though.

    Are you turned off by authors who put out a book a year?

    Heck, if you're talented enough to release more than one good book a year I dont see why you shouldn't. Though it is definately a turn off when authors go ahead and publish any old crap they've written just because they know it'll sell.

    Do you buy, borrow or take out from the library?

    I'm constantly searching for hot "Bargain Book" buys, but I rarely buy a book at regular price unless it's something I just have to have or that the library doesn't have. I work at a library though so lately I've just been checking out.

    The Most Whackest Books

    Those two deserve their praise in my opinion. One of your selections, Cell, is hardly overrated though. If anything underrated, I don't think I've read a single praise review for the book. But it was at least decent... once again IMO.

    In a reading rut?

    A little trick I sometimes do is when I'm bored either tell myself or have a friend read a book with me for only an hour and after that discuss it. Theres rarely ever much to discuss but if it's a good book I definately get involved in it during that time and will finish it. Also try not to...

    Voting: July 2006 Book of the Month

    I gotta agree with Beer.. how are we suppose to know which book to vote for if we haven't heard of them? The answer: we don't. We only vote for the books we've heard of. Plot summeries aren't good enough to ensure people vote according to what interests them. If we were able to discuss the...

    Do You Buy Hardcover or Paperback?

    I mostly buy hardbacks, but only if they're used or "bargain priced" rarely would I buy a hardcover book at new price unless it's the latest book from Stephen King or some other book that looks relentlessly tempting.
