So, Amazon supposedly sent me several books via SuperSaver Shipping. Turns out, they think they were delivered on Dec 2nd. I never saw this package of books. Will Amazon send me new ones, or am I super extra bitter and out $25?
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

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 would absolutely complain.
You know, and see what happens.
So far, I've had good luck with complaining - but I haven't had an entire lost order.

amazon sent me a replacement order no questions asked when I didn't receive one once. Then later the original order *did* arrive, so being a good boy I wrote and told them and they said "ah, keep 'em both". Which was nice.

Amazon sent me a new book when I reported that the post office had done unspeakable things to the package, and Amazon didn't want the smashed book back.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I emailed them to let them know someone in their packing department had put a book I didn't order into my package. I wouldn't ordinarily have bothered, but this was a $40 coffee table picture book. They sent out a mailer for me to ship it back, and thanked me profusely. No discounts or bennies, but the karma made me feel pretty good.

Hope I didn't lose Non Sequitur.
Love this. Danae may have replaced Bucky from Get Fuzzy as my favorite ill-tempered comic strip character.

Non Sequiter is great. Don't get the Get Fuzzy love.

How can you not love Satchel?
I'm reading Bill Bryson's The Lost Continent: Notes from Small-Town America, and ... I'm not loving it. It's often entertaining, but he's got a nasty wit that he uses on, well, small-town America. Not everyone in rural America is fat, stupid, ignorant, small-minded, or racist. I dunno. I loved "Made in America" and "A Walk in the Woods", but this one? Not as much.

Hey, does A Walk in the Woods paint a good picture of the Appalachian trail & such? I've been looking for good, interesting guides to the area for a friend who is interested and wasn't sure if this was more about author on the trail trail, or trail itself, if you know what I mean....(emphasis, I guess.)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
It's more about the author on the trail--it's not something you'd use as a guidebook.
