ARGH.   Luckily our local chapters seems to be ok at stocking titles and we have several good 2nd hand book shops.

Deathstalker, that's the most frustrating thing for me too. I don't usually go the to the book stores. Usually I'll see a book at Wal-Mart or some similar store and buy it there. But it is frustrating to see a book in a series you've never heard of before and then find out it's book 2 or 3 of a trilogy, or maybe book 5 of a series of 8. So I know what you mean. |

I did that one time. Bought book 3 of the Donald Stephenson first trilogy (White Gold Wielder?), then read the second trilogy, then read the first 2 books of the original trilogy. Talk about being confused. |

Re: OT: Books, Books, Books.
Ya know I hate to admit this, but I have not read any of these books.
I tried once to read Dune, got a nose bleed and shelved it. I tried to read a Tom Clancy book, the one about Clark, and same thing.
I don't have the interest to read overtly stuffy, long worded, drawn out, boring material. I would rather wait for the movie.
Sorry guys.
