You know why I don't like Robert Rankin? Neither my library system nor my father's carries any of his books. Until I manage to drag myself to a bookstore I will still be angry at him for not ordering that more libraries carry his books. Same with Don Callander and other cool sounding authors I have heard about on here. Hmmph.

P.s And it's really unfair that I will probably never get to read Sam and Dave's books, even though they sound really, really cool too.

P.s.s Sorry I'm slightly off topic :)
