I'll take Owen Meany.

Are you buying all these copies yourself? Some of these I can provide and would not miss, or would cherish if I ended up in permanent possession of the final marked-up copy. I definitely own BNW (and probably already lightly annotated), Flatland, The Road, American Gods, ASOF&I, maybe Jitterbug and maybe Owen, (funny story if I do, I got it on a first date with a polyamorous dude I never saw it again, I was supposed to be borrowing it along with Cider House Rules, which I definitely still have). Asking because we have considered cost of postage but cost of texts could be not insignificant too.

Everyone let's buy Complexity a beer when this is finished (in a year or so...or never... - let's try and finish this, but patience).

Nine for the erudite men, doomed to read.

Too late for Owen Meany, KB was in like lightning!

Curses I made a list of "taken" but skipped right by KB.

I'll take the City & the City.

When Jitterbug comes my way I may abscond with annotations and write a small note expressing my dislike, just to get it all out. Lance the boil and all that - but I don't know if I should be the first to take it and leave everyone else with such an intro. So the City & the City.

Shanks, shanks, shanks.
