I paid a visit to Half-Price Books today, and it went very well! I picked up an illustrated encyclopedia of Authurian legend, a book that discusses the evidence of Merlin having a historical basis instead of being a character largely fabricated by Geoffrey of Monmouth, two books by Juliet Marillier, The NeverEnding story by Michael Ende, the complete works of Lewis Carroll, and The Last Unicorn on DVD. I want to hopefully find time to go again next week and to find another book about Authurian legend and the complete works of Hans Christian Anderson. I love that store! :drool:
Cherrygirl- Oof! I hate messing up my readins schedule like that.
What book was it?
I wish there was a Half-Price Books near me. There's Book-Off (Which has a tons of $1 books) but that's in the city... I think I'll be making a trip once it gets warmer.
I sorta have a Half-Price Books type of store near me, but it's owned by this growly guy who snapped at me and my friend because we worked at the art gallery. DX
Please tell me I'm not the only one who always found his name funny. :lol:
Ever read that before? It's one of my favorite childhood books, so I have many fond memories attached to it. It's such a complex, deep novel that holds new discoveries each time you pick it up. I should probably reread it soon just for the fun of it.
I feel so pathetic. D:
I decided to try and finish the challenge between Nov. 2009 and Nov. 2010, and I just read the first book (Johannes Cabal the Necromancer, by Jonathan Howard).
(The book is hilarious, though.)
That was a fantastic book! I like it so much I practically forced my brother to read it- and then he pushed it on one of his friends after he finished it :yes:

Hahaha! My parents recommended it to me, and now we're all making my sister read it.
@ Roxxi Shiagami re: The Alchemist: A good read if you're alright with extended allegories. I'm not a particularly spiritual person, but I enjoyed it; it's a very positive book.

Sounds good. Lol. I'm trying to find books other than romance to read. Romance is sorta my weakness. :sweat:
Dream- There's no Half-Price Books near any of the colleges I want to go to, I'm very sad about having to move away from it onw day. :gonk:
Knerd- Now that you pointed it out, I find it hilarious. :rofl:
No, I've actually not read it before! I saw it when I went in November, and put it in my basket before putting it back because I didn't have the money. When I went just the other day, it was still there, and I thought, well, that's blatantly ignoring a sign from the gods and goddesses of the written word if I don't get it... I look forward to finding time to read it.
dream~ there's a few halfprice books down here. NEXT TIME YOU VISIT. <3
haaaahhh, so the new year has started and i'm still working on pride and prejudice and zombies and BONESHAKER.
except boneshaker is chilling around in the trunk of a friend's car because i forgot my external purse there after we went to lasertag. :c
I don't think I much like the latest book that I read. The Romance of Tristan and Iseult. I think it's cause of the style this version was in. The cadence in it made it slightly confusing to follow. But the plot was very interesting. That's just my opinion though.
Update 12/18/10: finally updated what I’ve read, reached my goal of 100, upped goal to 200 books, didn’t update page goal though
