This is the line for the books that ARE.Montage of an even more ridiculous lineNC: It's like 10 times longer! I mean what the hell...IT'S RESERVED! Isn't that the idea of reserving a book, so you don't HAVE to stand in line? Is that some kind of like ******** logic, I mean it makes no sense! I think it's because Americans are proud of waiting in line. I don't know why, we just get a sick thrill out of it. Standing in one spot is not hard. Anyone can do it. *I* can do it! Watch! ...You see? Now gimme a book.NC (talking through a window to a bookstore employee): Nine minutes! Come on, eight minutes, you know?

Here's the copy, ***** ****** and the ******* *******. Man, I'm looking forward to hundreds and hundreds of pages to see how this turns-He simply opens to the back of the bookNC: He lives. $30 wasted, I'm goin' to Hooters.
