(no subject)
But I still want this book, so I check BN.com and they have it. I ordered the latest Adam Dalgliesh as well to get free shipping. They claim that delivery to Manhattan is same day, but it turns out it's not. It turns out same-day delivery for me (the reigning queen of fucked up delivery service) means "you come get this shit from our delivery center." That's absolutely not going to happen. If I wanted to go somewhere to get books, I'D GO TO A BOOKSTORE.
So now my options are:
1) Go to a bookstore and make them order it so I can pick it up at a location convenient to moi (assuming they don't have it in stock, which I am).
2) Pre-order it from Amazon (again) as they claim they will have it in stock Dec. 21 (which I learned from the author's website.)
And you know what? I'm going to do one or the other because:
1) I really want this book
2) It's become a mission. The fates don't seem to want me to have this book. Fuck the fates.
P.S. Happy thanksgiving, yo.
