    I got the curious case of the dog in the nightime. 48 copies of the thing. Have applied to have them delivered to my local library but heavent heard anything back. Somehow i think they have underestimated how much effort it is to deliver a milllion books i in a week.

    I think I'm the only person that actually asked to receive the Reluctant Fundamentalist?!

    It's quite a good book, the way it creates a one sided conversation is really quite interesting, take a little getting used to, I hated it at first, but it got better.

    Didn't realise this thread was running! I have been selected to give away 48 copies of Lee Childs 'The Killing Floor' I was extatic about this as I literally eat books. I come into contact with a lot of people who will hopefully love a copy. My mum has already reserved hers lol
