We have, literally, hundreds of books in this house.

Quite possibly into a thousand books.

I'm going to try (ha!) to sort through my books later, weed out doubles and whatnot. It's unlikely that I'll give away a book in great condition or anything, but if it's readable, does anybody want me to look out for anything? Sci-fi books, fantasy, whatever?

If you find anything on my Amazon wishlist (http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html/103-3945934-5227063?%5Fencoding=UTF8&id=6V9R688FKYV2) I'd love to work out some way to take 'em off your hands. *grins*

In no way do I have that bookmarked for easy access. >.>

I read part of Uglies in the bookstore, but just couldn't get into it. It seemed contrived, really. I wouldn't reccommend it.

Parasite Pig, now... you did read Interstellar Pig, right? It's nothing without the original

[ladytalon.livejournal.com]

I own Interstellar Pig, yup. ^_^

And in regards to Uglies, I admit I don't know anything about it except that the author is my favorite author in the world.

Then you may find the writing style easier than I did. Or possibly it's an aberration. Not everyone likes every book, after all :)

I'd still reccommend you read it before buying.

I'll see if I can drag someone to the bookstore tomorrow for that express purpose. ^_^

I wonder if you'd like Fine Prey. It has quite a lot of linguistics content. When I check out Uglies, I'll let you know if I like it, because if I like both, then you probably wouldn't like Fine Prey.

I confused myself.

Well, I bought Uglies after reading the first chapter at the bookstore. Same writing style. His books tend to be more... more word-driven than plot-driven, if that makes sense. It probably doesn't. I don't know what I mean. Sigh.

Still, if you ever find a free copy of Fine Prey, maybe check it out just in case. Hee.

Woo, Sleator! I burned through his entire bibliography in two months back in Junior High.
