200 books in 2012
Dec. 26th, 2012 11:38 amI just finished reading my 200th book of 2012, _Weird Things Customers Say in Bookstores_ by Jen Campbell (2012), which Alexx gave me for Christmas.
There are heaps of amusing bits in it, but I couldn't help feeling, as I read it, that it was the literary equivalent of rubber-necking at a traffic accident.
Here are a few tidbits which I thought my friends would find particularly amusing.
(Customer brings The Lord of the Rings trilogy to the counter)
Customer: I am Legolas and I need to spread the word about The Lord of The Rings. I need to have this book for free.
Bookseller: No, I'm sorry, I can't give you the book for free.
Customer's friend: You have failed your quest!
(At a university bookstore)
Customer: I'm looking for a book for my Northern Anthropology Class.
