    I'm a huge fan of Hugh Howey's Wool series. Are they in paperback yet? I thought they were still just digital. I'd love to have paper copies of those. That would be great.
    They are in paperback and hardback.

    That's so cool! It's almost like a farmer's market for books. Have fun!

    Still Servant, you should check out goodreads.com. It's a pretty cool site to upload what you've read/enjoyed/hated to receive book recommendations based off your reading.

    Thanks for all the help guys. I was in book heaven. That place is amazing. There are literally books everywhere. There are even 3 other stores a few minutes down the road with books as well.

    I found quite a few things I was looking for.

    I did in fact find Wool in paperback. Even though I've already read the digital version, I really wanted it in paper form. I bought Those Who Wish Me Dead by Michael Kortya. At first I found this book for 7 bucks at the front because it was newer, but then my mom found it for 4 later. Not too bad. I also found the last Harlan Coben book I needed from his Myron Bolitar series called Backspin. I've been looking for that one for a little while.

    I also picked up a two Michael Crichton books that I didn't have: Micro and State of Fear. I also bought Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan. I had heard some good things about that one.

    Thanks to everybody for your suggestions. I can't wait to go back again!

    Glad you found a Koryta. And not bad on the price at all (especially considering it only came out last month)! I hope you enjoy it.

    bears are on a massive Dickens reread, and will go on this way till their brain problems are solved. Mr.Mercedes will have to wait.

    Finished Chuzzlewit, went on to Our Mutual Friend.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I always wanted to read that one but reviews seem pretty mixed. Did you read his Hyperion series? If you're a S.F. fan you should like the books.

    I am loving this series. It is hard to explain without giving away too much detail, but it is future based and historical. It follows the Trojan war and contains space travel, Greek gods, time travel. It is very well written.

    I read the Hyperion series several months ago and it is also quite good. I don't typically read a lot of sci-fi so I don't know how this compares to other books, but I would recommend both series.

    Just finished book 5 of A Song of Fire and Ice. Still unsure how I feel about it. I liked the millions of plots and subplots but some of the stuff was just padding and certain character's stories went nowhere.

    Reading The Beautiful Thing that Awaits Us All by Laird Barron on a story a day basis. This man can write. I haven't seen anyone receive such universally excellent praise in a long time. Still reading that Haldeman book and I'm 1/10 into Robocalypse. I thought this would be just some cornball s.f. but it's pretty gruesome. It's somewhere between Terminator and something Clarke and Heinlein would write.

    There is one King book in my collection I have never read (gasp) - Danse Macabre!

    Well I picked up the relatively recently released audio book which has a new forward (I think form a pb release) and have been listening to it on my commute. I'll finish it up today! I must say quite satisfying listen! And it has piqued my interest in reading a lengthy list of authors!

    I enjoyed it, even though I'm not a huge fan of the horror genre-with a few exceptions.

    Almost done with Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon, This is going to be adapted into a film by Paul Thomas Anderson, the first of his books ever to see the big screen, should be quite something!
