200 pages into Hell Hollow.Love it.Kelly is very quickly becoming one ofmy top 10 authors.I have yet to read a book or short story that I could say I truly have not enjoyed.Everytime I pick up one of his books I say to myself why did you wait to start this?

Stayed up late and finished Hell Hollow.Great book.5 stars.Today I will start Star Island by Carl Hiaasen.One of my favorite writers.A good author for the summer season.After that one of the Bachmen books I still need to reread this year.Probably Roadwork.Or I might read the new Joe R. Lansdale book Edge of Dark Water.

I went to the library today to pick up the first four "Hitchhiker" books; haven't read them in a long time.

And in the "For Sale" section I found hardcover editions of "Song of Susannah" (already had it in softcover), and "The Dark Tower" (which I didn't have in any form yet. 50 cents! Can't beat that).

Sweet, did either happen to be a first edition? Alot of the newer ones are easy to find cheap then you find out they're a first and its just a bonus.

SCORE, X.

Still not sure on the whole "editions" thing... they both say "First Trade Edition" with the numbers "1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2" - I never know which number actually indicates the print. I know I read it here somewhere but it didn't sink in.

[RichardThomas]

you want first firsts. the number line, it's the number ONE that you want, so in that case, you DO have first editions, first printings. cool. if it said 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 it'd be a first edition, second printing

[Dan Hocker]

Yep, lowest number on the number line indicates first printings on newer books (from most publishers). I know the UK King books just have a single number instead of an entire number line.

[tweetygirl0606]

Currently reading Kill Alex Cross by James Patterson...by the time I finish reading it, he'll have at least 3 or 4 more out...LOL...

Hi, new to the CD board. I am reading Floating Dragon. It started very difficult to follow, but has picked up. I'm very bad at names and there are a lot to keep straight at the start of this book.
