exanimate1. If you want to send me a private message, please, please use my website contact form rather than using LJ or Facebook messenger services. I have trouble replying within those forms, which often translates to "I won't reply within those forms." (I don't have a no-reply policy for LJ, but I do for Facebook.) My website contact form goes to my PA, who answers really simple questions like "where can I buy this?" and forwards everything else along to me. I answer as quickly as I can.
2. This LJ has an open friend/unfriend policy. Yes, it makes me sad when people I know IRL unfriend me, because I am a human being living in a human world, but I won't hunt you down with torches and pitchforks to demand to know why. At the same time, if you remove me from your friend list, I will remove you. Please don't unfriend me and then get mad when I do the same to you.
3. And while I'm asking for unreasonable things, please wait until I get the official Parasite discussion post up to start commenting about the book. I want to keep the various threads safe for the spoiler-averse for as long as possible.
And now I nap.

This post was enough to remind me to stop by Barnes and Noble on the way home from work today. I was surprised to find that this one's a hardcover, but that just made it feel more special when I bought it.
Conversation with the guy behind the register:
register guy: is this fiction?
me: yep.
him: It looks like something by Michael Crichton.
me: [pauses to consider] Well... it's kind of like that. Science fiction, medical stuff...
Now, for the hard part: pacing myself with the reading so that it doesn't interfere with the other stuff I need to get done. (When it comes to your books, this whole reading it in small pieces thing never seems to go as planned...)
