By prepaying I got it for $17.90 instead of $30 @ Barnes & Noble Simba. With my member discount and shipping waived it comes out to $19.44 delivered. Here is the Amazon synopsis http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Sleep-Novel-Stephen-King/dp/1476727651  :viking:

If there is one thing that will turn me into an actual hoarder, it is books if not t-shirts, but never mind that.

Read about de-hoarding. Problem solved. :thumbup:

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

  Broadchurch on BBC America.  Missing half the dialogue to those bloody impenetrable accents!   :tv:

  I can deal with the  "posh"  newscaster accents, but these thick regional ones do my head in.   :GA:

Haha, but the differences between English in the UK and the US are pretty small compared to the differences in accents just within Sweden, although pretty few people speak with heavy accents here anymore.

Here is a program about Swedish accents. The guy is interviewing people not far from where I live.

This Russian documentary is really good. Unlike stupid British/American documentaries about WWII they have:

1) Real footage from the places they are talking about (for the most part, anyway).
2) Correct maps.
3) Germans speaking German and not English with a "German" accent.

I mean real accents. That someone speaks with so much of an accent that you can hear from what part of Sweden he is isn't a real accent. Most people nowadays don't have real accents.
