Ouch... That's mean :|

Yeah, I tried checking at Amazon. It'd cost over 60 reais and I just can't afford all that for a book.

I could try to pick up a copy and ship it to ya.

On my last trip to a book store, I bought Cassell's French & English Dictionary. I also bought The Salmon of Doubt. Usually I tell myself that I don't need to buy Insert Intruiging Title Here because I already have a books that I haven't even read yet, and I can always get it from the library for free. I really want to read How I became Stupid by Martin Page, but that one will just have to wait.

Really? Well, if you did you'd make a brazilian very happy.

Thanks gonz! Anything I could do in return for that?

We appear to be nice dammit.

bought myself one of those PaperStyle Notebook thingies; one of these (the black one)


handy for us er creative geniuses, apparantly. my uni recommended that we all bought something like this, because we clearly must be creative genises if we're going to attend their course "Creative Writing" but I like writing down stuff and it's light and portable so fair enough, cool stuff. or something. yes. I am rambling.

Really? Read Liveship traders. Loved it. And I was thinking of getting the Soldier's son trilogy on my next trip.
I just finished the Bitterbynde by Cecilia Dart-Thornton. That was the shiznit.

Today I got Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, by Susanna Clarke (thought I'd give it a try); Serenity #3 of 3; the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly and a 25% discount.

SS, I loved "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell". Yes, it is long, but it was so good that half-way through I knew I was going to be bummed when I finished. Sure enough, I was really sad that it was over. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I bought Watership Down at garage sale for 50 cents. Good deal, I'd say!

MG: You got me. But seriously, don't buy/read the MHC book if see it. Its terrible.

Well at least you'll have one book. Don't they have a campus Library? Otherwise join Crewe's library, it's free (At least it used to be but I haven't lived in the UK for 23 years so it may have changed).

http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/library/crewe.htm

there is a library on campus. might check that out later. have to do my washing today, eek. just ordered Eric Idle's The Mission to Mars for a grand total of £2.69 thanks to Amazon Marketplace and later today I will know just how much money there is in my bank account haha. have an online bank service but I haven't got all the codes I need so dad will email it to me later.

Yus! Yus, I did. I want to re-read it, but I lent it to someone. Woe!

Last thing i bought was Mason & Dixon by Thomas Pynchon. Mainly because Mark Knopfler and James Taylor sang a song about it which is utterly beautiful.

The book rocks, too. You should read it. It's immensely confusing and insane sometimes, but still awesome. ^^

Not much. I was going to get the Deluxe 25th edition of Hitchhiker's, but it was fifteen dollars more than I could afford. We'll see if I can rectify that today or Monday.
