Last week, I visited some three or four bookshops here in Trondheim in search of R. Scott Bakker’s “Prince of Nothing” novels. The only thing I found, was a trade paperback copy of The Thousandfold Thought, volume three in the series. And I’m not that keen on trade paperbacks, really. They have a great format for reading, although they can get kinda heavy, but they’re hell to store. Especially when the rest of one’s books are mostly “normal” paperback-sized.

I don’t usually like online shopping. It feels so impersonal, so insecure, so like a second-rate option. But the net shops’ inventory… oh gods, the benefits of grand scale! In the end, I ended up ordering the following:
The darkness that comes before (Prince of Nothing vol. 1)
The warrior prophet (Prince of Nothing vol.2)
The thousandfold thought (PoN vol. 3)
Scrubs, season 2
Rome, season 1

I sense that I will have problems keeping up with my schoolwork this autumn and winter…
