Honestly I'm not that intrigued by Chrono Trigger anyway. There are like 3-4 games that I want that are way above it on my list (Scribblenauts, natch, already pre-ordered and everything) so honestly it'd have to be like $5-10 before I'd bother getting it immediately. Otherwise, yeah, it can wait until I have other games that I want.

Dun dun dunnn

Got it for $10 from Staples, YEAHHHHHH

Got it from the bookstore near me for $5. It's good so far and explains physics concepts well.

Also for $5, but in an older, hardcover ed.

I wanted to find the first The Dark Tower, but I didn't know what it was called. I also saw a Popular Mathematics book for $4 ;_; but mom made fun of me. /nerd

When I bought It, I was actually debating whether to get It or The Gunslinger. I ended up getting It mainly because I didn't feel like starting a new series and I wanted something to last me for the rest of vacation. Based on the progress I made with It by the end of vacation, I'm pretty sure I'd have finished The Gunslinger by then.

Maybe when I finish my summer reading (All Quiet on the Western Front and Kaffir Boy), I'll get it.

I also have Elegant Universe, but I gave it to a friend who was interested in astrophysics and stuff like that.

I've got a distinct dislike for Stephen King's writing that makes me turn down all of his books. I can't STAND him as a writer. As a tale-spinner, sure, he's pretty damn good, but he is fuck aweful writer in my opinion. He wanders, he is unclear, he jumps from one subject to the next - no thanks. I will never put my money into any of his books anymore.

his style of writing makes me swoon. I find myself reading passages over and over again.

His huge head, now wearing a garland of broken branches and fir needles, swung ceaselessly from side to side. Every now and then he would sneeze in a muffled explosion of sound—Ah-CHOW!—and clouds of squirming white parasites would be discharged from his dripping nostrils. His paws, armed with curved talons three feet in length, tore at the trees. He walked upright, sinking deep tracks in the soft black soil under the trees. He reeked of fresh balsam and old, sour shit.

*drool*
