Don't you hate it when you read about, or hear about an awesome book that sounds like a great read, but you can't quite get your hands on it? Anywhere? Or, books that you are currently on a loooooooooooooong waiting list for, and just feel like ranting about it? :P Talk about it here.



Personally, I'm looking around for the Dragons in Our Midst series, but can't find them. :confused: I also plan on getting Inkspell and Inkheart soon, but I don't know when our next trip to the library will be.

>> Legend of the Condor Heroes
>> Return of the Condor Heroes
>> State of Divinity

All by a Chinese author so the books are translated and now very RARE.

....whatever that first book in Dragonlance is that I should read--Dragons of an Autumn Sky or something like that.

Inkspell is the first on my list.

I'm just finishing Inkheart and I can't wait to read the second. :)

Although I'd rather write books than read them. :blush:

TWILIGHT! *grinds you to pulp* :P

I want to read The Inheritance pretty badly by Nancy V. Barbarick (Dragonlance again) but none of the bookstores seem to have it.

You do like dragonlance, LDM... [/statingtheobvious]

And Kitoky, I might recomend (though you probably already thought of this) Either eBay, or, some resale bookstores have 'rare book' sections. :)

I'm annoyed because The Well of Lost Plots seems to be forever out at my library and I want to read it. I can no longer reserve books for free, so I've got out of the habit of doing so. I should just reserve it and fork out the $2.20 or whatever the fee is. *sighs*

I also have various authors, where I'm not desperate to get my hands on a particular book but I get rather annoyed when the only ones on shelf at the library are ones I've already read.

I miss my school library... :(

I want to read some of Stephen Lawhead's books, especially the Song of Albion trilogy, but they're not at my library. I could probably buy them online or in a bookstore easily enough, but I don't have much money at the moment. lol I also want to read <i>Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency</i> by Douglas Adams, but haven't been able to get my hands on it.

Heehee, the Well of Lost Plots!
Yeah... I lost the book Lost in a Good Book. [confused yet, LoL?]
And I know where it is, but I can't get to it. :confuzzled:

Hehehehe, of all the books to loose! :P That must be really annoying, though. Even more so if you're halfway through. Hope you get it back again.

I still want the Silmarillion with a nice cover!
I've read it, but I never owned it, because I don't like the cover I can get in the shops around here, but I will get it eventually! :P

Yeah to get a nice Sil LotR and Hobbit edition would be awesome, but they're sooo expensive.
