Glee! My dad decided that we should stop by Half-Price Books after dinner tonight, so I got to camp out in the Sci-Fi section for quite a while. Hurrah! I left with a copy of Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere, for when I finish American Gods and I go into Gaiman Withdrawal, and The Science of Discworld, one of those books that you just don’t find in the States. Go me!

Minor source of irritation, however: Does it bother anyone else that the Romance section is always right next to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section? When you look early in the alphabet (for instance, “Douglas Adams”), you’re always standing in the aisle with a bunch of trashy romance novels. At Half-Price Books, this is especially annoying, as the aisles are really narrow. Bah. Onlookers get the wrong impression.
