My Bookworm Starved To Death

This ain't my first rodeo, so I've got a few things figured out by now. I like to read books, but it's a pain to carry a two-month's supply. So two weeks before this float, I ordered a bunch of novels from the SF Book Club. The SFBC takes about three weeks to get out to me, so when we got our first mail call, I'd receive a package of new reading material.

It didn't work out somehow. I finished the six books I brought in my initial packup, a mountain of mail arrived when we had a working port in Subic- but my books weren't there. I've read everything interesting in the ship's library, and I've been reduced to borrowing whatever anyone else happened to bring along. I've read some terrible books in the last two weeks, folks. Several million neurons in my linguistic center signed a protest petition.

We're expecting another mail call in a day or two. I hope my books arrive, or things are going to get ugly.

Oh, and this is not an appeal to send me books. They'd arrive way too late anyway.
