Kemper now:
I have 'the book of lost things' on hold at my local library.
My first suggestion is try your library first.  It's great for people 
on a budget... such as myself.  You once recommended Ender's Shadow, 
so I checked out at my library, read it, and decided to buy my own 
copy.  Used or pre-read, but still mine.

If your library is weak on selection, then try your local B&N or 
Borders.  There are usually seats available.  I often start to read a 
book there or at my local Powell's, if the first chapter seems not 
greatly written... the better off you are in the knowing!

I'm 29th on the list for Lost Things, so let me know if it's worth 
the read and the wait.  I can only have so many items on hold at a 
time.
