I was going to create a seperate thread about this, but since I don't know if the mods will frown upon it, and it is just an idea, I figured I'd post it here instead.

Right now, the nook comes with a 50$ gift card.

Interestingly enough, you can have as many nooks tied to one account as you want. Theoretically, if we all wanted to we could all sign up for a single account, use our gift cards in succession, and acquire the wealth of all the books spread between ourselves as some sort of advanced book club.

Apparently this is legal, but it might be frowned upon. But I haven't found anything conflicting with the Nook TOS just yet.

I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in creating a super user to share all the wealth of our collective books.

People need to read the books of the month and post in those threads.

Just sayin'. :toughguy:

Loosechanj, if this idea doesn't fly at all with you I don't wanna pursue it. Legal or otherwise.

I'm trying to remember the name of a book based on a very loose and very vague description.

In the beginning, the book was following some girl who was locked away in a castle or something and one of her only friends was the ghost of some guy who may or may not have gone on some fantastic adventure to get some sweet princess poon or something when he was alive. I remember key points being the girl confided to some place, and the guy was a ghost. This was all in the first 20-50 pages of the book. I have no idea where it was going from there.

Crewel Lye by Piers Anthony?

Holy crap. You are some sort of wizard. Well done. Is that series any good?

This makes a lot more sense now. Back in 8th grade English we had that crappy "reading time" and one day I didn't have a book so I was allowed to pick one off of the teachers shelf. She got really worried and upset saying she wasn't sure it would be appropriate for me but I shrugged it off. Never got to the hot unmentionable on sinful creature action.

If anyone out there has played the Witcher series and read the books, what are the actual books in the series I should be reading? Is there an actual start and finish or are they all just random Gerald mini stories?
