had you asked for these particular titles? just curious. Did you have to tip off the gift buyers?
 
So tired... I'm ill and went out to get some books. I got:

White Teeth - Zadie Smith (£0.50)
Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood (new!! :D )
The Picture of Dorain A Gray - Oscar Wilde (£1.00)
A Question of Smeg. The 2nd Red Dwarf Quiz Book (£0.79)

Not much today. All the good books I found were ones I already had. :p

Why doesn't Waterstones have the books I want? :confused:
 
The last book I purchased was "Dune" as a gift. I read it and finished it during a trip to my relatives for the holiday. Great book!
