The Great Maker Hast Smiled Upon Me

[channe]

I was in the local mall (ugh!) spending large amounts of money I don't have on my loved ones when I found something that I really shouldn't have found.

I entered a B.Dalton with every intention of purchasing a mass market copy of The Fellowship Of The Ring for a friend of mine (horror! they didn't have one without Frodo's face on the front!), when I stopped short.

There was a mint, unread, mass-market gem: a copy of "To Dream In The City of Sorrows." First edition. No kidding.

I am living proof. You, too, can find a copy of "To Dream In The City Of Sorrows."

And it was only $5.50, too.

Have you read it before?

If not, you're in for a treat.

BTW, shouldn't the title of this thread be "The Great Maker hath Smiled Upon Me", not 'hast'?

I always thought it was "he hath, thou hast"?

Just wondering...

Kribu is right.

Channe is suffering from end-of-semester brain leakage.

Yeah, I remember how that feels.

I wasn't trying to nit-pick, just wondered if I had remembered it wrong.

So that's why Channe looks like she had her hand on a Van de Graaff generator....

That is amazing, Channe! I mean, what a find! The fates were definitely working for you that day. I go lucky by finding a used copy on amazon.com while they were still about $8 or so. And I thought I WAS LUCKY back when that happened (around September maybe, or August).

Good for you.

I had no problems getting mine from Amazon's UK site but of course it's better for you guys to get a copy without shipping charges etc.

It's sitting there, whispering at me. "Channe... Channe... read me..."

I refuse to answer the siren song until I finish with my work

You have a great read ahead of you. Don't start it until you have time to enjoy it without feeling rushed.

Cool Channe!

I have read that book, and I think it's just awesome! If you have not read it yet, you will enjoy it when you do.
