Heretically for a buffista, I almost never buy books I haven't read already. I don't need to own books unless I plan to reread them.
Flea is me. I pretty much re-read damn near everything I own at some point or another.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

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 know I *should* go to the library (because I'm almost out of space to keep books), but being able to go to a used book store and buy whatever books I wanted was a dream of mine when I was a starving college student/retail worker; now that I have a kinda/sorta steady job, I'm going to buy books, darn it!

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
JZ's analysis pretty much applies to New York as well. I've done much better selling on Half.com than I have in physical bookstores.
I'm trying out Ebay; the whole auctioning thing scares me, but there's one book without an ISBN that I can't sell at Half.com but should be able to auction off for at least a few hundred dollars. But I'm assuming I'll need an ebay history before anyone's willing to bid high.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Micole - you're in NY? Not that I want to go volunteering people for tasks behind their backs, but there are at least two NYCistas with decent Ebay histories; possibly one of them could sell it for you.

I am in NYC. If anyone wants to volunteer, profile addy is good; but I'm fine with building up a history. They seem to have transferred over half.com feedback, which is good, except that the last time I was selling I was severely flaky about sending stuff out on time. So I need to build up whuffie again.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
