Damn you, you horrible man. Okay, granted, I lent you some of my Terry Pratchett books, the ones about Death, but that did not call for such an extreme level of retaliation!
I have been pretty much safe from reading science fiction since Ender's Game and its sequels. I adored those books, but I thought there wasn't much new out there.
Did you really need to send me a copy of Hyperion? It was so good that not only did I finish it today, I did something I am not supposed to do under any circumstances.
I went to Borders.
Yes, I went to an actual brick and mortar bookstore, and worse, I paid retail! *gasp of horror*
To make matters worse, I couldn't just buy the two books that complete the Hyperion series. *bitter laugh* No, I bought four other books.
Why did you do this to me, Snickers, WHYYYYY?

You poor poor dear. How will you recover from such a slip off the virtuous path!?!
Just don't tell Flannel Jammies on me, hokay?
See in my mind there are few things better then wandering around a Borders or a Barnes and Noble and going book hunting. Yeah, I know you can sample books online in the comfort of your own home - doggie snoring at your feet, red jammies on, and purchase the books you need.
But to wander a Borders or, better yet, a Barnes and Noble, perusing the titles, even grabbing a book or two and sitting in a comfy chair and reading, with the soft music playing in the background....
Sometimes it takes me a while to decide if i want to buy a book or not - can think of one book where it was a couple of weeks of going back and forth - thinking, do i want this or not...
(now I used to do the whole go and get a hot cup of coffee thing, until i discovered the benefits of Tim Hortons and changed my tune completely....)
(by the way i actually met Canadians that don't like Tim Hortons - i figured they were coming to the US for sanctuary and had renounced their Canadian citizenship)
Snicker.
I'm having the same problem with Harry Dresden. ;)
