Have Little Fires Everywhere on a hold at the library (for Kindle).
I checked out the Becker (nice to find another Goodreads person here) and recommended the library purchase it.
I just finished Tidelands by Philippa Gregory (got from Netgalley.com) which I didn't find to be one of her best.

House of Leaves is my favorite book, it's just so unsettling I love it.

Looked up Soul Mountain and recommended the library purchase that. Checked out The Familiar by Danielewski and there's no listing for the House of Leaves on Overdrive so . . .

this payments things sounds pretty major. I wonder if it will affect amazon's stock.

I'll have to see how much my AMZN shares go up when you all convert to Amazon Gift cards and buy stuff on Amazon that you would have spent the money on elsewhere had it been in your bank account instead!

I really hate when requestors ask what I think the study is about. I just don't give it that much thought.

I really hate when requestors ask what I think the study is about. I just don't give it that much thought.

Not totally sure, but I think they do that because sometimes the survey taker can understand too well what the intent of the survey is and lead to biased results. I usually just put that I have no idea, because I usually have no idea. Afaik it's never been a problem.
