23. My time on the library wait list was four months

And it was worth every second of it. The book is incredible. Of course, that doesn't help with your book club, does it?

I wish I had good news that the end of the long wait lists and high prices was coming soon, but I'm afraid that won't happen. The book recently hit the first major award long list, and one of the most prestigious, the Booker Prize. As more of the award-givers announce their candidates, James will certainly be a favorite, and thus will continue to be expensive and thin on the ground in the used market, well into the fall.

As for price: Amazon has the best prices for new copies--$14.99 for the ebook, and $17.97 for the hardback.
