Closed Threads

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."

The status is NOT quo.

For a good used bookstore I'll travel a couple of hours.

Squee! Anyone who makes it here for the summer party can go 20 minutes up the road to the fabulous used book store The Book Barn. It is not only a great source for used books, but also whimsical and charming as hell. The have a main barn, a "haunted" barn (for sci-fi, fantasy, and horror), little twisty garden paths, an "Ellis Island" cart set up from new books immigrating into their collection, and more. It's one of my favorite places.

They also have kitty cats everywhere!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

YOU'RE SO MEAN KRISTIN.

Myopic Books in Chicago, which tommyrot showed me, had a kitty. All used bookstores should have kitties.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's not big on used books, but the Green Valley Book Fair runs about 10-15 weeks a year near Harrisonburg, VA. Great place for great prices on new books -- usually overstocks and the like.

(Edited for clarity.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Steph, did you read all about the awesome rooms here?

Wow. That's within easy driving distance for me...

Deb, who's not? Jealous of Dan Brown...except of course the can't-write-for-shit part.(I read one of his recently and reviewed it for Amazon saying that in future, I would avoid his work like it contained anthrax. I can be such a bitch. I signed my name proudly too. It seemed like What Deb G. Would Do.)

Yes it is, DX! I'm not suprised you've never heard of it, actually, because it is indpendent and doesn't advertize much. It's such a great find; I really recommend it.

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

Man oh man, do I love my internet wife...

It's only true...I gave up on "Angels and Demons" at mid-point. Somebody with as many Bayliss tendencies as I have never does that. Ever. Because even if it sucks...I have to know Just How Much. Right?(And if it picked up, and I missed it? How stupid would I be? And that means of course that "Infinite Jest" will be the fifth...or sixth, I've lost count, party in our marriage.) Not with that one. Mom paid a quarter. She should get her money back.
