The Road: Current Reading??

I am looking forward to our next book "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. The day of the decision I went to a used book store - rather, a warehouse of a used book store - in Knoxville called McKay's. This place is super giant and it took me a while to find the book (I am positive they have never heard of alphabetical order nor the library systems of decimals) but I eventually found it for a great price.

So, I've had the book for about a week sitting on my bedside table but I haven't started it....why you may ask? Well, while at the used book warehouse store, I found the next three books in the Sookie Stackhouse novels (reference the "Book We've Read" list). I mean, these book were in great condition an way cheaper than I could have gotten on Amazon! I have been reading the heck out of them.... Sad for "The Road" but way happy for me....no worries I will finish the book before the next meeting :)

Currently Reading

Our next book to read will be The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I went to pick up the book at Border with a coupon and I knew exactly what book I needed to pick up. This was to be an in and out ordeal. I walk in and went straight to the computer to type in the book title. There happened to be a sales guy there and he asked what if I needed help. I told him which book I was looking for, and before I finished the word "Road" he was already leading me across the store. He shows me the book, and I had the option of choosing the movie tie-in cover or the regular cover. I chose the regular cover since they were the same price and thanked they guy for his help. As I was walking away, he says, "It's okay, its not his best book"

Really?? You're going to say that to a customer who is about to purchase a book from your store?

Lame. Looking forward to reading this book!
