The Moral Of This Story Is That When You See A Bestselling Novel You Want To Read At The Supermarket

for  4$, you buy it, because otherwise you are going to have to wait for the 35 people who put a hold on Girl With The Dragon Tattoo before you to read one of the four copies the public library owns.

And in some insane twist of economics, despite it being a best-selling novel which means there must be hoards of copies out there, no one is selling it for 1.50$ on amazon.com.

I wish we lived near each other. I now work at a book-printing company and I have helped print probably about 200,000 copies of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I could have gotten you a free copy.

Don't hate me because I threw a copy of it away in the strip bin two days ago...
