um yeah, amazon does the same thing as abebooks. i buy used books from other people through amazon all the time.

Tori Amos - The Blower's Daughter (live)

I bought 2 books about a week ago, I'm just waiting for them to arrive. They were books I couldn't find anywhere else. Looking at other sutff, they hav e avery decent collection of out of print/hard to find stuff. They are like a middle man, but no more than amazon and half.com are.

I usually don't miss them. I find myself gasping out loud to often to miss them

Wish I Didn't Miss You - Angie Stone

I read the first one. I thought the translation was horrible. Or at least, I think it was the translation, because the book was filled with really awful grammar. I'm not a grammar nazi by any stretch of the imagination, but this was noticably bad grammar. I read the first one, and then...

It felt really long, like it was never going to end. I really don't think Heath Ledger can act at all either. I also thought a lot of the elements that McMurtry added to the story were unnecessary. I think they had a wonderful framework for the movie, and just didn't use it. I cried...

oh yeah, I got to meet Amy Tan briefly at a book signing as well.

I walked out of Dumb and Dumber before the opening credits ever finished rolling. I wanted to walk out of Brokeback Mountain. I didn't know if my boyfriend was enjoying it or not. I said something afterwards, and he was hating it just as much, so if I had said something we both would have left.

I got to meet Alice Walker at a book signing. It was really amazing. Even just getting to stand there a few minutes while I got my books signed and got my picture taken with her. She was very gracious. Gregory Maguire came in to sign stock once at my store. He was very polite. This was...

In Search of Our Mother's Gardens really gave me lots of other stuff to read. Alice was responsible for rescuing Zora Neale Hurston from obscurity. Flannery O'Connor is great too. She's a southern writer. She's been compared to Faulkner, but I think she's a lot easier to read.

kinda goes with the "to thine own self be true" in highschool a teacher told me that I was always going to do thing my parents wouldn't like, but that shouldn't always stop me, because at some point I would have to live my life for myself and not them.

this is totally how I read. I call it literary archeology. I read something that interests me and I have to go find everything I can about the book and the subject. One of the things that I love about Alice Walker so much is that in her essays she talks about the things that inspire her...

I'm not sure about too many of the details. I read it when I was in 6 or 7th grade I think. So probably late 80s, early 90s. The human race is gone. The only thing that remains are basis frozen in stasis. These big hairy creatures come to earth and accidentally wake up one boy and one...

I love both of these books. Anything that Fannie Flagg writes is just wonderful. I love her combination of eclectic characters and Souther Settings. And of course the whole Tales of the City series is also wonderful. Maupin has mentioned that he's working on another book. It's not really...

I went with character. I can usually forgive a weak plot if there are well written characters in it. One of my favorite things is when characters from other books have cameos in another of the authors books. It's like an old friend stopping by to say hello.
