    As long as they're at least 40 proof, preferably 80 or more.

    Honestly, I haven't read Skeleton Crew in over a decade. I was just joking. Everyone takes me so damn serious on here.

    Allof the Star Trek books? WOW! The Star Trek section of my town's bookstore is bigger than the Star Wars section. Have fun.

    By that time we will have another Star TRek series going that I can over...

    I didn't meant to infer that all star trek books are crappy, but every ONCE in a while there's one that you look at and say, "why did they publish THIS? I could write something better than this!"

    I would LOVE to own (or rent) the Wardstone Chronicles but I don't know if they are available in english. So sadly I must settle for the Last Apprentice series which is basically the much more childish vershion of it.

    I want to read Stephenie Meyer's twilight series because I haven't heard a single bad thing about them so far.

    I've heard about that. I was thinking about reading it but I always end up reading another SK book.

    :caution: Let's keep to the topic

    quoted from the starter post:

    This is about the books you'd like to read but haven't because you: can't afford them, can't find them or some other reason!
    please do not let it be just another recommendation/advice thread, or it will have to be merged

    I hate to disappoint you, but it wasn't all about your last post ... with such a number of general threads on what we read or don't read, it is important that the specifics are preserved in every case. Because I personally find the idea of this very thread great, and want it to develop in accordance with the guidelines you set in your starter post!

    Take me, for example... I buy books in English only abroad, because I can afford only second-hand, and we do not have second-hand foreign bookstores... ... Thus, I still don't have either The Gunslinger Revised, or Palahniuk's Lullabye (I saw them in London, but my trunk was already bursting with other books by that time... and those others were all the more precious because at least 75% were presents from my dear Palaver friends!

    Now, about you and It - I believe there must be libraries, no? Or used bookstores, or maybe someone you could borrow from?
