TO SELF-PROMOTE A MAN

Also new are adaptations of “The Red One” and “The Wit of Porportuk,” joining the previous edition‘s “A Thousand Deaths,” “Jan, the Unrepentant” and six other stories of adventure, horror and science fiction.

TRADING PLACES
Too broke from Christmas shopping to buy yourself new books? TitleTrader.com is a site that allows you to trade books (as well as DVDs and CDs) with other users through a point-based system. Creator Dan Abercrombie says “tens of thousands of books” are listed currently on the free site. He started TitleTrader in 2004 after his sister noticed “she had a lot of books and a small house, and thought it would be a good idea to help get rid of some of them.” Since then, the site has hosted 90,000 trades between almost 8,000 users.

AND LET’S TALK TURKEY
Like all of you (we hope), BOOKGASM will be taking the day off tomorrow for Thanksgiving – not by choice but a dead-certain tryptophan coma. And because we haven’t had a holiday weekend off in … well, we can’t remember, we’re also not moving from the couch on Friday. There’s reading to do! So have a great four-dayer and give thanks to the ones you love; you’re already on our list. –Rod Lott
