I liked it (and the sequel, and will read the third one), but I'm not sure if I'll be re-reading it any time soon, so it's not important to have my own copy. And I just remembered a bunch of other books that I *am* planning on re-reading before the end of the year: Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events. So far I only have the first book, last book, and _Unauthorized Autobiography_, so add to the list: _The Reptile Room_ _The Wide Window_ _The Miserable Mill_ _The Austere Academy_ _The Ersatz Elevator_ _The Vile Village_ _The Hostile Hospital_ and _The Carnivorous Carnival_ Anyone planning on buying any of these? --KG
