My copy was waiting for me when I got home (finally). I suppose it's only been 7 days, but still. Finishing K&C tonight and then on to The Intuitionist.

You know. One of the things I think I'm going to like most about this is that there won't be the depressing down time between books.

I got mine yesterday (with a fly very carefully smooshed between pages..eew) and couldn't help but drop everything and read just a little. Not enough to discuss yet,but- yay! Book club!

I finished it today. sticks tongue out at everyone else

My branch doesn't have one. Or it's out.

My branch has a copy, and it appears to be in. I'll have to stop by and see if that's true or if their computer system has gone psycho again.

My branch doesn't have one. Or it's out.

My branch is tiny, with at most 2 books from any given author. 98% of the books I borrow there come from other branches in the same library system. I just go online, search the online catalog, hit the hold button, choose my hole-in-the-wall branch, and two days later it's waiting for me at checkout.

Maybe your branch can transfer the book for you from another?

Probably.(smacks forehead) I hadn't thought of it.

Inter-library loan associates to the rescue!!!

(Had to give a shout out to Mom once again.)

That's what I do too, Wolfram. My library is also set up very bizarrely, so sometimes it's easier to get it at the hold desk, if I want something specific, rather than browsing for general reading.

I read it in about a week's worth of giving it half an hour here and there, which is about how I manage to read for fun these days. It was a pretty quick read, I thought. I'm looking forward to the discussion.
