(chuckle)......Booooooooks...........

You would think, after a year, I would have written off the local english language bookstore. But no, I had to go in looking for ANYTHING new to read.......

And took a look at their "Science Fiction - Fantasy" series, which is usually 100% Robert Jordan, though occasionally you can find Terry Brooks in there as well.

It's now 60% Robert Jordan and 40% Jean Auel

Gahhh.

I'm amazed they can even *sell* Jean Auel in an Islamic country. Some of those books are protoporn........

Admittedly, Auel is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, for all I joke about the main character eventually inventing the wheel, the electric light, the internal combustion engine, and nuclear fusion........

An ancestor of Honor Harrington and Leonard of Quirm, no doubt.

[community profile] metaquotes had a funny on Jean Auel today, by the way.

I used to have a friend who owned a used bookstore. One of our 'in' jokes was "Who gives a hoot about Jean Auel"

Yeah, we were wild and crazy back then... ^_^
