Assassin's Apprentice. When Fitz is shopping for Fedwren (I think)
Once upon a time, there were mobile libraries until the local council decided they cost too much. Most of my books are bought from Amazon at reasonable cost and in used but good condition. However, I tend to come unstuck with new hardback books that are part of a series and generally are too expensive.
Pfft! I had one of my vexing indecisive moments today while out shopping. All three books in 'The Hunger Games' series, which I believe is a decent read were on sale for £5.99. But of course I talked myself out of it and came home without them. Cross with myself now!
P.S. Farseer, How are you finding ''Twilight?' While it's not everyone's cup of tea and has had it's fair share of criticism, I don't think it's all that bad at all. If you ever feel like sharing your thoughts in the 'vamp' section, then I'll look forward to reading them.

Just on your problem re getting to a library, fool-ish...it's a pity there isn't such a thing as an on-line/mail order library service out there somewhere...or is there? Our family is subscribed to an on-line/mail order DVD provider where we receive a certain number of DVDs in the mail per month...I could see how it would work well with books though postage for a book would be more expensive than a slim, light DVD, thus making the subscription fees higher...
We used to have a travelling book salesman who would regularly visit our sheep station with his truck, and I always looked forward to such times.
