Tell us about the last book you bought (not including college textbooks). Was it hardcover or paperback? Did you buy it online, from the author directly or from a traditional bookstore?

As for me, I get most of my books by requesting review copies or going to the library. However, the last book I bought was The Covenant by Tavis Smiley. It was a paperback, and I got it from a Borders a few miles from my home.

I just picked up a copy of The Wizard of Crow by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o. I LOVE it!!! It's 768 pages long, so that will keep me occupied for some time.

Hey everyone!

Oh, it is very much worth the read. I am reluctant to set it aside to do anything else! Give it a shot.
