Confess the first two things you bought from Amazon.

Mine are:

Of Swords and Spells by Delia Marshall Turner, probably because I couldn't find it in a bookstore (I'd just finished Nameless Magery). I'll note both of these books are still on my shelf, and I only keep things I intend to re-read, but I've never re-read these. I don't know how I

Hm. Mine only goes back to 2005, because I changed email addresses. But I'm amused that from 2005-2007 I didn't buy any books for myself through Amazon.

BTW, Delia is working on another book again, or was when I ran into her in July. No idea about title/theme/etc.

Whoa! *g*

I have Amazon recs to thank for that!

My first was Far Beyond These Castle Walls by Chris De Burgh, which was on a list of cds Alan Doyle wrote down for me in Conor O'Neill's after a concert. It cost $20.94 when I ordered it on in October 1998; now, it's 11 bucks.

My second was an music compilation called "World of Irish Folk," which features Brian McNeill (Scottish), Pentangle (4/5 English, 1/5 Scottish), Foreign Feathers (German), Ian Carr (Scottish) ... well, you get the drift.

My first two books were gifts for my then-teenaged brother: 50 Ways to Fight Censorship and What is Communist Anarchism? Those got me some interesting recommendations for years to come. As it happens, that order (my third) was placed the same day as your third order: May 5, 1999. Which one of us is the evil twin again?

It's possible that we alternate evil/good twin?

That's too hilarious. It's exactly how we are twins, too--not our first orders, not our second... but our third orders were placed on the same day.

Yep, that's the way it works. Maybe we had lunch together that day ... and talked about ordering ... books ... from Amazon ... or something. Yeah.

Congratulations on handing your book in, btw!
