Yes... the library. My library... has literally dozens of books. >.> We even get chapter books from time to time. x3 The joys of living in the country and going to the village school. But oh well. At least there's internet to teach me about what I'm missing out on. I pity you. Libraries should have more books than that. They should, but, well... it works on a small budget. I'm just grateful for the library itself. xD Computers and a quiet place to work is usually enough. |

The Dune books.. *cue ringing of a fain, far-off bell* I remember.. I've always wondered what 'fain' meant ... someone tried to use it in a Scrabble game and we weren't sure whether it was a word, but I encountered it at least twice in Vanity Fair soon after ... Though I think you mean 'faint' this time. xD And if you've read Oppel's stuff, you're not too badly off. xD These days, all you get are fresh strawberries and hatred. .__. –adverb 1. gladly; willingly: He fain would accept. There ya go. =D I believe it is a real word, although I have to say I meant 'faint'. xD |

How can you forget something like Dune? Er.. what's it about? I might remember better. *headdesk* ..Dune. It's about Dune. Arrakis. The spice. Houses Harkonnen and Atrietes (can't spell that..) killing each other off. Sandworms. Fremen. World and galactic conquest. xD ..and that's the 'Shade is trying to make sure she isn't mixing books together'/'Shade's really fast' summary. |

It was amazing, I remember. I've forgotten it. =D *makes mental note to go take it out of the library and read it again* |

A two-three hour drive, usually. That is rather inconvenient ... well, look at it this way. Your house/town is on the fringes of nowhere. My whole country is. xD ... Well, not really, but you get the idea. xD; Point taken. Although I think it would be awesome to go there... at least for a while. Somewhere where it rains. :3 |

That was awesome. |
