It's amazing that people are asking over $60 for "new" copies
of that out-of-print pocketbook title!
I got my library to buy it. . . not in budget for me to buy. . .
One local library here orders titles from me. That's nice,
considering that they get gov't money to buy their material and
therefore use that money to support local.
"Pandemic" (the book) reads so much like a playbook of what we
are experiencing now. Knowing what I am living through wrt the
pandemic now, the book is not as shocking as would be if would
have read it in 2005.
I really enjoyed "The Grid" by Philip Kerr. It's about a
smart-building that goes rogue and starts killing its
occupants. A funny part was a sex scene in an elevator, but I
don't remember how come the smart-building didn't detect the
action going on in there.
I have seen what you mean -- people are asking insanely
ridiculous prices for old junk online now!
All it takes is one sucker.
Women were paying over $100 per single tampon made by a
company that closed up shop!
Single Scrabble tiles for $5K & up!
I think those are set up as jokes. When this covid shit started
and people were hording toilet paper, the runing joke on eBay
was single sheets for $20+
