Amazon has a lovely little thing where they will let people sell used instances of books on their item list without bothering to go through auctionfoo. Sometimes this helps, sometimes it doesn't - there are cases where the used books for sale barely differ in price at all from the new ones. This time around, it did help, and my copy of The Classics of Mountains and Seas arrived today. I like used books. They're cheap, they smell a little funny, and they have character to 'em like you don't always see at the regular bookstore. I will be going to the archery range tonight if I can, I haven't shot Bendis in a while, but this week there will be some serious reading of this collection of Chinese stories and myths.

Side note: brain still refusing to disgorge whatever clot has caused it to get stuck on 'HK action movie' + 'classic children's flick' mode. Currently it's hard at work rewriting Beauty and the Beast as a gangland thriller - although the songs are staying pretty damn close to the same, which is unnerving. Mind you, it's going back a little bit to the source material in that to make the plot work better, it's reviving the two greedy sisters. The Beast's dilemma involves a death threat from a corrupt cop who's in just a little too good with 'Gaston's' Triad, a deadline for compliance with said cop, and 'Belle' trying to coax him into going legit...

... cripes, it'd work, wouldn't it. *sob*
