do you mean like, part 1 is checked out, or they just don't have part 1?

if it's the first, i think you might be overreacting

It doesn't matter which it is. The point is that you get excited about a book, and then you can't read it. SUCKS.

It doesn't matter, this shit always happens.

on the other hand, what's the point of having 2 and 3 if they don't have 1.

God, i wish i had the funds to buy books ;_;
I was looking for 'Roadside picnic' today. The only library that has it, is 15 kilometers from me.
Feels bad man

If you wanna prove how grown-up and high brow you are, you gotta ignore those contemptible philistines, not berate them.

Hey, will you tell us what it is about fantasy you don't like, Ty?

OP never said it's a fantasy trilogy
could be something different, and good

For the same reasons I hated the nerd group at school probably. Disdain? Like Ivan towards Smerdyakov in TBK. Just because I'm too psycho to hang out with the cool kids doesn't mean I'm one of you. Philistines.
