I actually recognised your handle from LibrayThing...though it took a moment of pondering! Looking forward to stopping by and checking out your blog! :D adevotedreader, They make me so furious, because as you say, whilst they might have what you want, you will pay a high price for it. The Slap is the perfect example...I'm eager to read it, but not so eager to pay $37 bucks for the privilege! So instead I'll look forward to hearing what you have to say! Musingsfromthesofa and Leah, Thanks for the warm welcome! I hope you both have a lovely New Year! Sandra, thanks very much!

I agree with you about Borders, pond scum is the term. It's no longer a book shop you want to browse in as all but the bestsellers are marked UP. It's a pity you've not had a great reading year but it happens. Christos Tsiolkas's new book The Slap is high in my to be read soon pile, you might like it if Dead Europe appealed.

I enjoyed While You Were Gone very much too. Sorry to hear about the book pricing, that's awful. You're right about that all or nothing attitude, I think a lot of us fall prey to that. I look forward to hearing about what you read this year, especially The White Tiger. I liked it a lot. (I'm posthumose from LibraryThing in case you don't recognize the name. I'm on blogger now at Fresh Ink Books). Happy reading in 2009. Nice to see you posting again. I enjoyed While You Were Gone very much too. Sorry to hear about the book pricing, that’s awful.
