The May Book is................

Posted by ty97 Apr 14 '10, 07:27

Horns by Joe Hill.

NB: Extremely close runner-up was Solar by Ian McEwan (we were an inch from a tie)

Responses:

I'll request the library to order a copy - sounds good. Might read Heart Shaped Box in the meantime. -- nm - LMS Apr 14, 07:37 6
- I was thinking this as well, but good lord...paperbacks are $10+ now? Jeebus. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 14, 07:39 5
  - I'm guessing that's trade, not mass market? -- nm - ty97 Apr 14, 07:41 4
    - I guess. It was the only "paperback" option for Heart-Shaped Box on Amazon. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 14, 07:41 3
      - here's the mass market paperback, and it's 7.99 -- (link) - mara Apr 14, 07:47 1
        
        Nicey, thanks. (Out of stock, though.) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 14, 07:53
      - Relatedly: I will have to get Horns from the library. I refuse to buy any Kindle novel over $9.99. - ty97 Apr 14, 07:44
this one? -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:27 15
- Yep. -- nm - ty97 Apr 14, 07:31 14
  - heh, OK. I added it to the box. (First test of the big box automatically unhiding on news updates :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:36 13
    - I didn't see this before my suggestion. -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 07:59
    - hmm, maybe it should unset the cookie, so it becomes visible until people click "hide" after a news update ... - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:37 11
      - I'd like it to automatically show me new stuff. I'm happy to click hide again. -- nm - mara Apr 14, 07:38 10
        
        concurrence -- nm - ty97 Apr 14, 07:39
        
        well, it does, but the very next page load it goes back to hidden (may not be the best behaviour, is what I'm saying. heheh.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:39 8
        
        nope, i was wrong - it doesn't currently do it on the page reload. Interesting. :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:42
        
        Is the news box already updated? Mine didn't in Firefox. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 14, 07:40 6
        
        d'oh, right. I forgot to enable the book news item at all. hah. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:41 4
        
        There it goes. neechay -- nm - JaxSean Apr 14, 07:42 3
        
        Bery, if there's room in the book club box - ty97 Apr 14, 07:43 2
        
        is there a direct link to a group page I could use? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 07:45 1
        
        This should work -- (link) - ty97 Apr 14, 07:46
        
        I don't see it either. -- nm - ty97 Apr 14, 07:41
