Barnes and Noble for Christmas

[vtel57]

I've had this $25 gift cert burning the proverbial hole in my figurative pocket since around September. I decided to spend it tonight. As always, I picked out about $80 worth of books and had to weed a few out before checking out.

I ended up getting four brand new Dan Simmons' classic Sci-Fi paperbacks:

Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion... Books 1-4 in the Hyperion Series (1989-1997).

Free shipping, too! I did go a wee bit over the gift cert amount though. Had to charge $5.80 on my Visa.

Oh boy! Oh boy! I've been jonesin' for some decent Sci-fi.

Hope they get there fast, Eric.

Woo-hoo! Got my books just now! Gonna' go read. Toodles...

That was pretty fast.

It was DAMNED FAST, actually. Ordered Tuesday night and received on Friday afternoon... three days later. Can't complain about that.
