What the fuck, Hsu? Are you trying to make fun of people who would buy a marked-down book at Elliott Bay? Is this something Mike Lacey said would be \"funny\"? Honestly this kind of attack journalism against people who are just trying to educate themselves about the Crusades is why you have totally ostracized yourself from the Community. Why didn\'t you write about something important like the diesel fumes emanating from that bus and poisoning everyone on the sidewalk? Or the misplaced priorities that force bus riders to wait in the rain and be splashed by oncoming vehicular traffic? Or are you just afraid of writing something that would offend the Weekly\'s auto advertisers? This is so predictable. It\'s why I never read your blog posts.

I think that this young man should be commended for buying a book that is marked down! He\'s riding the bus for crying out loud! He\'s not polluting in his car or out on the streets pissing on the homeless. He\'s a good solid person sitting in an accordian with wheels reading about Knights and politics and maybe even taking a look around for a lady who is looking for a Knight in shining armor. If so, he can read his book to her.

Why would Elliott Bay mark a book down so much?

Especially one of that (ex)caliber.

Ha! Nice one.
