I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Ya know, Nicole, I wonder........

I'll never tell.

Always Anti-fascist!

(Squeals upon discovering the Empress is a Maupin fan.) But what do you want with that Safeway? You gotta man. I have a "novel" at my house that is totally my bad-Maupin period. Maybe I will bring it and it will get "famous" like that lynx book.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

HUGE Maupin fan. Except for Sure of You. I returned it to bookstore after reading it, it made me so mad.

But what do you want with that Safeway?

I want to go to the meat section and think about Connie and Mouse and MaryAnn.

You know, there's a beautiful meta "whuzzah...?" feel to that, as a standalone line. You could totally get the Maupin fans (I am one) squealing at your feet.

Whoa! I mean, I didn't love, but damn, that's hardcore. I don't know that I've EVER returned a book. I even keep (or trade) books that I hated.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Why keep books you hated? My mom had a used bookstore, so I learned that every book, no matter how lame, has someone out there who will love it. It's better to set it free to please someone, rather than have it sit around your house reminding you of an unpleasant experience.

Joe about had a coronary when I told him I had returned it. He NEVER gets rids of books. I'll occasionaly see him reading something I know he said he hated, but he needed something to read and it was there.....

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I don't return a book for a refund unless the copy is physically flawed (e.g. missing pages, unreadable print), but if I don't like a book, I don't finish it, and if I don't expect to re-read it, I don't keep it even if I liked it a lot. I give almost all my spares to the library rather than selling them, though.

He NEVER gets rids of books.

The Celestine Prophecy broke me of this. I don't think I've ever returned one to the store, though.

B. Dalton has a thingie that if you don't like the book, you can return it, no questions asked.
