Look, it happened again!

I mentioned some time ago that my boss gave me a hardcover copy of Ringworld because his book club sent him 2 copies. This time: two books: Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind and Confluence by Paul J. McAuley (who I’ve never heard of, but the book looks interesting), both hardcover. He said that the books showed up at his house a couple of days before the book club card (that you send back if you don’t want the monthly selections) did.

I think this is about the first time I’ve ever had more books on hand than I could keep up with. These plus a half-dozen from Christmas… dances around the room

Well, I suppose the Goodkind book is good news … if you’ve read the five books in the series that come before it…

Yes, but what is he going to expect in return, my dear…?

Smeghead–Nope, I haven’t read any of the books in that series. But that’s never stopped me before.

DDG–I don’t really think I’m his type.
