fuggit if the spot is still open I'm in.

I didn't jump for it at first because I'm bad at post and also reading promptly, but this is turning out way too cool. Although I admit I've read/own a fair number of these.

Applaud the choice of Flatland, scold the choice of Jitterbug.

Please let me know if I actually am in or if someone else got the spot already.

edit: alas I am too late. (Really that is fine.) But update the damn OP, 'plex.

There's an empty spot on the table, to make nine souls. CHOOSE!

I'll take Owen Meany.

Are you buying all these copies yourself? Some of these I can provide and would not miss, or would cherish if I ended up in permanent possession of the final marked-up copy. I definitely own BNW (and probably already lightly annotated), Flatland, The Road, American Gods, ASOF&I, maybe Jitterbug and maybe Owen, (funny story if I do, I got it on a first date with a polyamorous dude I never saw it again, I was supposed to be borrowing it along with Cider House Rules, which I definitely still have). Asking because we have considered cost of postage but cost of texts could be not insignificant too.

Everyone let's buy Complexity a beer when this is finished (in a year or so...or never... - let's try and finish this, but patience).

Nine for the erudite men, doomed to read.

Too late for Owen Meany, KB was in like lightning!

Curses I made a list of "taken" but skipped right by KB.

I'll take the City & the City.

When Jitterbug comes my way I may abscond with annotations and write a small note expressing my dislike, just to get it all out. Lance the boil and all that - but I don't know if I should be the first to take it and leave everyone else with such an intro. So the City & the City.

Shanks, shanks, shanks.
