I gave up playing video games years back - whole chunks of the evening would disappear in a digital black hole, never to be recovered.

Timbutu's available on Amazon for 1p at the moment - maybe better value than your second hand book shop?

We've been having trouble with stuff not arriving at our door (the postwoman has a predilection for leaving our packages outside it...) so I thought it might be nice to buy it from a small bookshop for a change. I'm also trying to stop buying from places like Amazon and Tesco because they really don't need my money.

Yikes. The violent sister loop is disturbing.

Is Timbuktu the one narrated by a dog? If so, I loathed it. I love Paul Auster, though, particularly the New York trilogy. My favorite is Moon Palace.

Yup, it's the dog one! I've never read anything by him so I'm looking forward to it. And I like dogs. :-)

But what I really wanted to read was his latest, Sunset Park. We were actually thinking of suggesting it to the club once it was our turn.

If you've got too many games, you should check out http://www.cex.co.uk

They've got a branch in Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street. I take a lot of games there once I've finished them and just get credit to get other games or DVDs or I ask for cash if I'm a bit low. You can look games up on their website first to see how much you'd get for them.

Cheers, I already have an account with them from my Gamecube days! :-)

I'm going to compare their prices with Game and see who pays better.

Just had to comment to say, because nobody else has, mmmmm Preston.
