banks - i found the omnibuses at Pearson warehouse sale. But I was very lucky and persistent. You know how in a warehouse sale they throw out truckloads of the same title? There was only one copy each in the whole of the warehouse, they were that rare. smile.gif

That was my exact reaction smile.gif I thought I will come away with classics only. To my very pleasant surprise, they distribute Orbit, Daw, Black Library too. And Penguin have loads of nice fiction too. Now the secret is out.

I think the sale is only once a year, this is my first. I even heard it's only once every few years.

*Ominous* stay away from the omnibuses - they already have my name on them icon_rolleyes.gif

wow - what are you doing up at 4 am?


Added on October 21, 2009, 11:16 amOh - and you start at the ending chapter? I thought I was bad. But that would so spoil the book!

OMG....so many distributers.... cry.gif cry.gif

At least there are other booksales too, like Big Bad Wolf Books(The best booksale of the year!), which I think should be once a year.

Finders keepers~ Losers weepers~ HAHAAHA

Accidentally fall asleep for 3 hours after dinner. Woke up and can't sleep anymore.

It's kinda interesting as to know how things led to the end after I read the end. Though it really spoil the book tongue.gif Maybe I will change my habit

I will fight till the bitter end, anything for omnibuses flex.gif

I missed the Big Bad Wolf sale. I gathered it was good huh? Hopefully I will hear it once the sale is on, and will definitely go. I like Times too as they got truckloads of fiction.

Haha - yeah, i tend to do it. Fall asleep for a few hours then woke up unable to sleep again. Next day suffered at work.

Changing habit? Nah, it doesnt work. All the books I tried to start at Ch1, I will lose interest quickly and it became a chore. It is like a curse. My best friend is constantly amazed how I can comprehend the book that way.

The God-Emperor shall protect me as I fight for the Omnibuses!

It's the best book sale! Almost every books at RM8 no matter the size. In fact, I bought most of the Halo and Forgotten Realms books from there. But I didn't saw any W40K books though...but buying so much books it's gonna take sometime to finish them.

I wonder if the book fall on the last page, you read from there? tongue.gif

^ You, my friend, have issues. Why the sudden attack on friendly bookworms ?

Throw your books and go study ? How do you study without books ? Programming books are books to study too.

Starcraft novels are nice, but you'd be surprised that there are A LOT of books out there to cater to everyone's tastes and also generally BETTER than Starcraft novels.

I rather you not attack this thread.

This is how I deal with school. Get over it.

if I get the damn assignment done, who cares if I read novels in class. The end justifies the means after all.
