Got a book from the library instead of buying it, brilliant! This could catch on...

Hmm I'm sure I posted on here somewhere a "note to self" type thing telling me not to buy the next Raymond Feist book, as I think they had been getting worse. Can't find it, but I didn't buy the book anyway. See me, saving money. Went to the library with Clare at the weekend, and picked up the next Feist book, FOR FREE, so I can have a look at it. Think I've possibly missed another one in the meantime, or maybe I nodded off during the last one as I seem to have missed some. Will give this a go, but really not that into it.

Visit your local library, get some books out, get the numbers up. Looks like you can search the library 1 that gives me an idea 2...

  1. Removed old kent.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?ENTRY_NAME=BS&ENTRY=raymond+feist&ENTRY_TYPE=K&NRECS=20&SORTS=HBT.SOVR&SEARCH_FORM=/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/OPAC/BSEARCH&CF=GEN&ISGLB=0 link here.
  2. I did go on to write a browser plugin to replace amazon links with searches for the book in the library.
