I have a lot more hardcovers than that, because I guess I've picked up a few that have been marked down. Or I just plan couldn't wait for the paperback to come out - though for the most part I'm just not into any series enough to *need* to buy the hardcover as soon as it's available. Anything by Matthew Reilly is an exception though, as his books are just plain crack. (And cracktastic too, given how much it seems like he writes them on speed!)

But mostly, I stay away from them. :)

And I'm around, though mostly I just read. Don't post much as I can't seem to get my thoughts together on anything interesting.
