OK, Megan. They have #s 6 thru 10, used. 3 of them (I think 6, 7, and 10) are $3, and the other 2 are $2.50. So, total for all 5 of those is $14 + shipping.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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."

Oops, just found the paperback I was thinking of, and it was volume 2 instead of 8 or 9. I must have been conflating my copy with one a former roommate owned.

Gandalfe, could you get me 7-10? I'll send you a money order to cover the costs.
Awesome!

Thanks for looking Matt. Much appreciated.

No problem, Megan. Or you could PayPal, either way, no worries.
I'll pick them up in the next day or 2. Drop me an email with where to send them - profile address is fine.

Has anyone read Jeanette Winterson's latest novel, Lighthousekeeping? I used to love her stuff, but the last one of hers I read (The Powerbook) seemed way too boring and pretentious to me. Anyone know if this latest is any better?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
If anyone is interested, the Agatha award for best novel went to "Birds of a Feather" by Jaqueline Winspear and the Agatha for best first novel went to "Dating Dead Men" by Harley Jane Kozak.
(The Agatha is the award given out at Malice Domestic every year. It is fan-decided.)

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

Funny you mention that since I was browsing it at the bookstore yesterday and the jacket copy specifically mentions it was a "return to her earlier lyrical style."
I'm guessing she pissed away her readership and after noting this effect in her bank account decided to get back to her more saleable talents. I read a few pages and it did seem to be in the style of The Passion.

Yeah, I read the jacket copy too. It was enough to make me hope, but not enough to make me drop $20 based solely on its recommendation. I also wonder if I just might not like her style as much as I used to. I should reread The Passion (definitely my favorite of hers) and see how it holds up before buying this one.
So instead, I bought The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri and Affinity by Sarah Waters. Very much looking forward to both of these.
