I didn't quite want to buy it, see...

Guess who moved up from number 80 on the library's reserve list for the book to 20, over the past few months?

Guess how many copies of the book the library system apparently has?

Yeah, wish me luck or laughter or whatever you like, I'm about to tackle it.

i can send you the e-text. seriously, it isn't worth actual effort.

No, see, the physical book is much better. When you throw a computer against a wall it will probably break. :)

the thing about the e-text, though, is that when the existential horror of the thing's emergence in this plane of reality overwhelms you, you can edit it. Who's going to remember what the original line said after you've added "...and that was when Bella realized that Edward was a mutant alligator god from outer space"?

I wish she had. Then that book would have been awesome.

I actually do prefer having the actual book on my lap! It makes for cozier reading. (Even though the laptop is nice and warm on cold evenings.)
