Do my eyes deceive me, or are there no "I've got Clinton's book" threads?
Seriously, I don't see any. But then again, I haven't looked farther than the first page. :P

Another factor could be that I haven't been on DU since a very, very brief period on Monday. And in fact, I didn't know it was coming out Tuesday night - I was under the impression it would come out June 30th (hard to trust Amazon.com now...).

Anyways, who here's got Clinton's memoir? Anyone finish it (900+ pages :))? I pre-ordered mine, 40% ($21 - quite a steal for a book that costs $35). Saw them all across the airports in Harrisburg and Chicago - I almost hugged the first person I saw in HIA pick it up and purchase it. Haven't started it, but I have looked through it - nice photos. This is something I've been waiting for, and it was nice to have it greet me coming back from my conservative father's home.

4. I pre-ordered a copy of Clinton's book on Amazon.com
My copy came two days ago. Nice airport story, by the way. Anyway, I, like you, haven't read it yet. I flipped through the book briefly and looked at the two sections of photos. I did read small sections here and there, like on Vince Foster's suicide. Clinton has an easy writing style to follow--it flows well.

I'm currently reading Bertrand Russell's "Human Knowledge: Its Scope and Limits,"
so when I finish that, I'll read Clinton's book.

For those of you who haven't bought a copy yet, support the cause and pick yours up today! Every little bit of support helps in the battle against the forces of evil.

5. Welcome to DU
It appears you are somewhat new :hi:

I still have a poop load of books ahead of Clinton's I need to read - Arianna's, the new one....um...Presidential Leadership or something like that, a couple Wellstone books I'm re-reading for a part of a book I may or may not write, etc. By the looks of it I'll have enough books to get me through the school year :)

9. Thanks, AlFrakenFan!
Nice to be a newbie here. I've been coming here for a while before I registered. I enjoyed lurking and reading the posts and replies. I figured, hell, why not join in the conversations, and put my opinions and commentary in as well? LOL.

7. Books are expensive...
I'll wait till the library has it, or I find it online.

The most I'll spend for a book is like $15 or so, which is about the price I'll pay for a DVD.

8. Ever try Half.com?
I hate to be a plugger, especially since the last order I got from there was CANCELLED...sorry, it still stings...but anyways, for example, I found a JCM CD there for 99 cents which in Barnes and Noble would have cost me $15.

10. I tried Half.com, but don't have a credit card
Half.com only allows for credit card purchases and online checking account payments I believe. I will not get a credit card, so I shop for metaphysics, epistemology, and other philosophy books on Amazon.com. If you spend over $25.00 on Amazon.com, the shipping and handling is free; plus there's no sales tax unless you live in the state of Washington. I usually buy two or three books at a time.
Clinton's book is $21.00 on Amazon.com. Half.com is way cheaper from what I've seen.
