Hey guys... I'm looking for a couple of books... and rather than give the Big Heavies my money, thought I'd see if any of you had copies you were willing to part with.
- Harlan Ellison. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. (Collection of short stories, though the title story is the one I'm interested in reading)
- Neal Stephenson. Cryptonomicon.
I'm also drooling over Gibson's Pattern Recognition, since I've heard nothing but good reviews about it, and Douglas Coupland has a new book out as well... but $40 for a single book is just way too much money for me.

Trackbacks...
Library? At least for the last two.

Also, I prefer owning books, since I often put them down for a couple of weeks in between chapters.
But, still, that's an idea.

I have three of Harlan Ellison's 'Edgeworks' compillations, but none of them have that story. I DO however have the PC adventure game based on that story, including the snazzy mousepad. It's very disturbing, and is allegedly quite true to the original.
