I’m sure all the participants in our discussion of The Ghost Writer would agree that it has been a good one. The novel has a complicated plot structure that discusses well since we were able to help each other figure out what happened when and who did what to whom. A great book club choice, Daisy!

For future discussions, I changed the way the homepage’s left sidebar looks so everyone would have access to both new and used copies of the books. I also added links to first editions and signed copies in case that’s your thing.

As of right now, there are six copies of Chronicle of a Death Foretold signed by Gabriel García Márquez available on abebooks.com. The prices range from $450 to $1,000. Whoa! I realize he’s a Nobel laureate and won’t be signing too many more books since he’s nearly 80 years old, but damn. That’s a lot of money for an autograph.

In contrast, Harwood’s signature is currently going for a paltry $35 to $45. He’s a good writer. The Ghost Writer is his first book. Anyone else seeing an investment opportunity here?
