It really is excellent for rummaging. Particularly with all the vintage movie magazines from 1916 through the fifties.
Hey Taunty McTauntpants, that's going over the line. You can stop now.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Maybe I should retaliate by going to the Stax Museum or Sun Studio to look at music memorabillia this weekend?

Rats. I need to move to a city with some life in it.

I managed to spend $60+ without rummaging. Dunsany! Lafferty! Authors not ending in "Y"!

Spoilers are a national threat? Or the screener was a fan and just wanted to get a look at the new book? Or lame?
Seriously, when we were headed home from London, they confiscated a ziplock bag that had about 2 dozen goldfish crackers from my 10 y.o son's carry on. Reason? "It was opened" I told them it was fine, they could have them, they were probably stale as we'd had them with us for over a week. She picked them up like they were a stinky diaper (2 finger grab) and tossed them in the trash. It was very, very strange. They also held up the line to look at some of the pictures stored on my camera (they were of Fountains Abby, no bombs or anything).
EtA: To bring this back on topic, while we were on the trip I bought and read The Time Travelers Wife because you all (especially Nilly) had had such great things to say about it. It's not usually a genre I would pick up, but MAN it was good! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hello... I am new here. Just interested in finding some good books and in possibly having some interesting discussions about them.
On my to-read pile are: The Kite Runner (can't remember the author's name) Shake Hands with the Devil by Romeo Dallaire Freakonomics (again, can't remember the author's name) and I've heard a lot about The Time Traveler's Wife, too, so I am planning on reading that in the future...
I'm in the midst of planning a wedding (my own) so haven't had too much time to read lately.
The only books that come to mind from the past couple months are Singer of Souls by Adam Stemple (which I hated, but will probably end up reading the sequel out of morbid curiosity) and... Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner which was a delightful piece of fluff even though I found the ending a little too contrived (in that the heroine wasn't able to figure out who the baddie was until the optimum moment of dramatic impact, even though it was pretty obvious from about the second chapter). I have the sequel, California Demon, on hold at the library.
