ooo..i want the Eisenhorne.

I just bought a 7ft x 3ft cupboard just for books and it is filling up really fast.

I am trying to figure out a way to preserve my books too. An old cupboard (closed up, with mothballs,charcoal bags,humidity container) somehow got infected with mould, turning the books yellow and spotted and covers splotchy. I suspect those are fungi. I was so sad. Now with the new cupboard I am crossing my fingers. I really dont know what to do.

Not as much books as strinq. 3 each x 3m x 2m are a heck of a lot of books.

Dont know whether anyone has problems like me. think it's Msia humidity that kills the books fast.

oooo...I want cheap Eisenhorne. Which warehouse sale? I just got Darkblade and Gaunt's Ghosts: The Saint omnibus for RM 15 each. It was a very very lucky find as there was only one each in the whole warehouse and I went back 3 times.

I go thru about 4 books a month. But I have some really bad reading habits. It's hard to describe. Basically I start a book where it fell open. Sometimes I start in the middle

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.

That was my exact reaction 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

wow - what are you doing up at 4 am?

I will fight till the bitter end, anything for omnibuses

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.
