nnyI have got a new job. Two sundays of every month (my only day off each week, that's how much I want to do this... *g*) I will be working in a second hand book shop. It's weird and wonderful in there, run by hippies, and I have been completely unable to resist buying books every time I go in there. My last two purchases were a second hand Bible (to write Good Omens slash, and I think it probably counts as a ticket to hell) and "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, since I read 1984 and my flatmate said "if you liked that..."
The excellent part? I'm not going to be paid. Not in money, anyway. Instead I will get around £20 worth of books every time I work there. And I intend to work there as long as they want me.
So should anyone want me to look out for something for them, and be willing to reimburse me on postage costs, do let me know. There's only so much space in my room, after all.
This is going to be good.

Not sure which more: the second-hand bookshop run by hippies, or the payment-in-books...

...and I'm sure God enjoys well-researched Good Omens slash just as much as any of us. :)

Brave New World is good, ne? I'm going to go one step up on your flatmate and say that if you liked '1984,' and if you like 'Brave New World' then check out 'A Handmaiden's Tale' by Margerat Atwood - it's like the other two distopias, but ~feminist~ *strokes said book.*
