Which raises a different Kindle issue - where do y'all go to find out about Kindle/e-book deals? I regularly check out Daily Cheap Reads but are there other places I should be looking as well?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.
Buffy ,'Sleeper'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

I was doing some...ahem...and buying more than I wanted (especially since sometimes they were MORE expensive than the paperback due to publisher demands!) but now I am almost exclusively reading from the library. Yay, library!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ooh, thanks for the tip, bennett! I already have the non-anniversary edition, so two bucks isn't bad for the re-buy.

I didn't know you could ahem e-books - a sign of how out of it I am these days. From the usual suspects or e-book only places?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, you all did so well with the "death and grieving" suggestions, any ideas for a non-fiction "book about a person with a disability"?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The juxtaposition of the two posts above mine made me laugh and laugh.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
"Moving Violations" by John Hockenberry is good. Exciting, since he went places most paraplegics can't. John Callahan's "Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Me, too. I honestly thought for a minute that sumi's post was a direct response.
Relatedly, I am going to have to buy American Gods for the BatKindle, because my paperback went walkabout many, many months ago.
