Wellshorton, it seems we have read some of the same books. But the books you have read that I have not yet, are going to be added to my list of "Books to be Read", thanks for that.
Where did you purchase all of your books? I have had to order one from Amazon.com, unfortunatly it was a used copy, I prefere new when possible. All of the rest were either purchsed from or ordered through B.Dalton/Barnes and Noble. If a sotre has it in stock I purchase it from the store, if not I have them order it in for me. I have a readers discount card that comes in handy, saves 10% per purchase. I have yet to use BN.com to order a book. If I have to do that I only get a 5% discount with my card. So you see the reason I'd rather order from or purchase at one of the stores.
The only reason I had to order from Amazon is B.Dalton/Barnes and Noble could not order the book. But I prefere to deal with them rather then Amazon.
