I just picked up the 9/11 Commission Report; it was what looked to be the next-to-last copy my local Borders Express (née Waldenbooks) had, and that was at 10:30am. The salesperson said it was the fastest-selling book in the store today. Now I'm trying to decide whether to finish The Mission, Dana Priest's account of how the military became the de facto first option for American diplomacy over the past 15 years, or to put that down and start on the Commission Report.
What else? Oh, yeah, there's Ghost Wars, which has been sitting in the to-be-read pile for a month or so.
Good grief. Where to begin?
Posted by Linkmeister at July 24, 2004 01:56 PMWe were just at that Once Were Waldenbooks on Wednesday to get one of Alex's birthday gifts (the book he's reading in the photo in my blog, in fact!). I was assuming this "new Borders" would be at the other end of the mall, since after all, there's already a Waldenbooks on that side ... d'oh! ... it seems exactly the same as the old one, just with a new logo.
I keep thinking you and I are bound to run into one another on one of these shopping trips!

I was there Thursday too, but they weren't on the overnight ship list for the book.
