Thanks, that's about how I felt. On the other hand, I'd been reading a series of freebies that were entertaining but not very well written, and getting tired of it. Now I'll have to go to the public library and pick up some (hopefully) well-written books for a change

Being in an earthquake-prone zone, it is recommended that we secure all tall furniture, ie. bookcases, to the wall. This is something that we haven't yet done, so being buried under a pile of books is a distinct possibility.

See, all those people talking about the smell of paper books, they never stop to consider the dangers of paper book ownership! You can never be buried under your ebook reader

Yes, I think I got it! Only got 9 out of the 11 letters, and with some help from a friend, we figured it out.. Amazingly, it was the first book I thought of, but I thought it was called something else!

It would work in the reference section, if you were by shelves of books on a topic you were interested in. Probably wouldn't work so well in fiction though - then it's definitely down to the power!

I'm wondering how many people actually send in their guess, and how many of those were correct.. Maybe one of the mods can elaborate?
