Good to know I'm regularly all three alignments of evil, hah. I only read books I own, at least, and . . . well let's just say unless my kids get into my
specific brand of nerdery (Warhammer, mainly), I don't have much incentive to consider other readers.
I have at times been true neutral and chaotic good, but given how book ribbons inevitably fray and break over time (my deluxe editions of Harry Potter are
very well-read, though not so much anymore. Still, most of the inbuilt ribbons have broken). While writing this I Google'd the correct name for the version I had ("collector's edition" wasn't it, "deluxe special edition" apparently is), I found out mint copies go for
kinda silly money.
Here's another. Mine are obviously worth nowhere near that, but hey, books are for reading! They definitely weren't that cheap when they released (£30 to £50, from memory, over the years).
The only complaint I had is the spines kinda easily went on those versions, especially on the thicker books (too much weight for the thickness of the spine as the paper was incredibly thick. The regular hardback copies didn't suffer from this as much, as the paper was much thinner).
Anyhow. Trying to get back into reading, slowly. I used to devour entire fiction libraries, but something's changed in the past five years or more that makes it very hard for me to stick with anything bookwise. I've picked up my copy of Ravenor: The Omnibus (a set of Warhammer 40,000 of novels) by Dan Abnett, who is genuinely regarded as one of the best 40k authors the Black Library has to offer. I've always liked his stuff, so figured it'd be the easier to try and get back into.
