Amazon amusing me again

Well, they're getting there... slowly.

"Die Geheime Geschichte" was top of my recommendations today. Hmmm, thinks I, half awake (my German is, er, 'nacht sehr gut' anyway...)- isn't that a L'ame Immortelle album, or something of that ilk? Sounds very promising.

No, it's a book by Donna Tartt. For one brief, joyful second I think "Yay, she's written something new!". And then I realise that they're trying to sell me the German translation of The Secret History, which I already own. D'oh. Still, they do get an 'A' for effort...

On the plus side...

...the Amazon incident persuaded me to go check if there was a new Donna Tartt novel on the way. And, much to my surprise, there is.

It's tentatively called "Tribulation", and is currently being edited/polished - it's supposed to be out for February 2nd 2002. All of these details were found here
