I gotta take a leak. When I get back, we're doing body shots.

I remember one of the major chain bookstores on the main street sticking an author outside on a wooden folding table in the middle of all the foot traffic, like some sort of terribly lonely sausage sizzle. All through the middle of the day the guy just sat there quietly as thousands of people brushed past with complete indifference with nary a staff member in sight. Can only assume it was just too much bother to have him inside, cluttering up the merchandising floor-plan.

Said bookstore closed about a year or so after that.

It sounds like that gentleman needs better representation.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but I have a question about Stephen King's It. Is there any reason It claims It's name is Robert Grey? It just seems such a random, normal name.

I always thought of it similar to Randall Flagg. IT is just a personal moniker for something that should have no name, or at least no name that we would understand. (i do understand that it is different for RF, I was just liking it to him)

Have goons ever done a book trading thing? I use paperbackswap but I would much rather swap books with goons.

I have a near-mint paperback of A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin, willing to swap for The Republic Of Thieves by Scott Lynch.


We should start a thread.

Before high school I had done book reports on Lord of the Flys, Catcher in the Rye, and Silence of the Lambs.

I do not think my teachers understood.

I'm looking for the name of a book/author/genre.

The only book I know is about Conjoined twins during the Holocaust. It is suppose to be extremely over the top/ridiculous.

Any help?


Nevermind: rear end Goblins of Aushchwitz by Cameron Pierce

Does "The Killing of Worlds" end the Succession story line? As was mentioned in the 52 books in a year thread, Westerfield has a lot going on with his YA books, is it likely he would ever finish this series or come back to it?

Hi all, I'm wondering if you all can help me with something. I'm looking for an out of print book and so far google, eBay, and the rest haven't been helpful. It's called "The Other Side of Peace" basically, it's just a collection of Israeli/Palestinian propaganda posters. I don't know the ISBN number and I can't even find a single mention of it on the web. Any idea where to look next?


EDIT: ignore this I found it and feel like an idiot because I had the title wrong...

What was the right title?
