Something Insubstantial And Vaguely Military, Like Chain Mail Panties, Or Mithril Nipple Clamps.
I went to the bookstore this afternoon with Roomie!Ann, Lizzie and LB, both because I do love me some bookstores, and also because I'm desperately in need of some books to take with me on my flight to Sweden.
I hate taking my own, because then the covers might get bent. But if I buy used ones specifically for the purpose of traveling, then I don't cry so hard when they get injured.
It was harder than expected, though, shopping for exactly the right ones to bring. My biggest problem is that the majority of books I read are trashy fantasy/sci-fi novels. And lord, but do they know how to have embarrassing covers.
I mean, seriously?
I cannot be seen reading this.
Or this one, or this, or, you know, this.
Erik the Swede's parents will think I'm insane.
I understand your reasoning, sci-fi cover artists. It's probably way easier to copy the Bat out of Hell album cover and throw in some half-naked women and a wizard, than to actually come up with your own designs. But please! Have some pity on your readers! Especially your female ones! Some of us like to read in public without people edging nervously away from us!!
Comments:
Definitely take Queen of Stone -- the snake hair and the huge breasts will really make a good impression on Erik's parents...
