(no subject)

You know you've moved to the hinterlands when the stores don't open until noon on Sunday. I'm sitting in my car, sipping my Route 44 cherry limeade (waves to ilostonjeopardy), and watching the employees pick their way through the rainy parking lot in their workclothes.

SO glad I no longer work retail.

So I got Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, and I enjoyed reading it so much that I ordered volumes 2 and 3, which arrived the other day. I finished the first book today (got busy with other things), and just sat down to pick up vol 2 -- only to find that while Quicksilver is the name of the compendium of the first 3 books in the cycle, MY particular copy only covered BOOK 1 as well. So now I have to buy the 3-book volume of it, before I can start on 2 and 3.

(I was planning to get the volume anyway, so I'd have all three copies in the same issued format, but this is a little sooner than I'd expected.)
