Reply to comment by HugoNebula in I just finished reading The Running Man by Stephen King. It was a fantastic book, and Iām unsure why others disagree. by ALittleInternet
The part about back to the future is not true, either. Even with the Jetsons, set 100 years in the future (from 1962 when it aired) has people asking where their flying car is. š

I wonder if it depends on the book. I have zero experience with that site but when I've ordered from some places, I will notice a huge difference between how fast some things send. I ordered off another place a while ago, I got some children's books as well as a recipe book for myself and another book, they all took different times to ship. I think it's to do with different warehouses.
Though, maybe it is just your mail carrier hating you. š

I didn't know that. I used them a few times because book depository points you there if they don't have a book.
I had one book not show up from there and the seller did refund me and sent an apology. It ended in this
"We hope that once the book comes, you will still be able to use it and find much enjoyment from it. If I can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me again." God that irritated me. It also never showed up and it has been a year.

Sorry to be that person, but it was actually written by a woman! Harper Lee. She died about a year after it came out, the rumours I heard were that they took advantage of the fact she was dying. I never heard the rumours about someone else ghost writing it until today.

I used to not sleep. Having a bunch of kids changed that for me. I'm exhausted by the end of the day.
