my pie in the sky wishlist at powells. really though, i can get more book elsewhere for cheaper so i'm all about the gift certificates! ;)
i'm not interested in making any money off of any of this, i just wanted to be able to post the book cover pictures because that's prettier and more interesting.
theoretically, i would get a comission off of any purchases through this site, but a) i'm not expecting a dime, and b) if i do get a dime, it'll go to a charity. which? not sure. if you have any ideas/inclinations, please tell me.
also, check out the following sites for (usually) cheaper prices: bookfinder.com, alibris.com, overstock.com, & bookcloseouts.com.
it took me a while to read this book, not because i didn’t like it, just it was too abstract in a way, too distant, and i was just too busy to give it the time it needed. once i stopped (and procrastinated) and gave it some serious reading time, i loved it and got pulled into christopher’s world.
obviously there’s a lot of humor in this book, but what i loved were the puzzles and logic games – reminds me of when i was 11 and really into those mensa quiz books. we would go on long car rides and i’d try and figure them out, going cross-eyed from the effort.
