What are you reading?

[Swatopluk]

No local library that has it?

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Nope. If that would be the case I wouldn't be asking.

[Swatopluk]

I don't know your relationship with libraries  .

[Aggie]

Ach... have it on hold from the library.  Am currently #54 on the list.  

And 92 on the list for the new Tom Waits albums.

[Outis the Unready]

I am reading The Event.

Good luck with that...

Hopefully you'll get to your turn soon.

The contents of a fortune cookie.

Oh, I keep one of those in my wallet.  Used to be one on the fridge, too...
"You will tread on the soil of many countries" and "Full Stomach, Happy Heart", respectively.  Just discarded a wallet horoscope re: HSM theory (seriously).

Kiyo.... there are 22 copies, so 92/22 * 3 weeks = about 3 months.    
The biggest issue is that some are still on order... the library takes its sweet time getting new materials.

Another scary article about the yen carry trade.

I'm almost done The Colour of Magic, and I've asked for The Light Fantastic for my birthday.

A colleague of mine has just started with Pratchett too. He should be nearly through LF by now. He reads the German translation though, so a lot of jokes are lost.

Hmm... when I was a kid, I used to get a kick out of literally translating the jokes on the back of the cereal box from French into English.  I always thought the nonsensical stuff that resulted was funnier than the English "jokes" they'd done on purpose.
