things come in threes, they say...and it seems for some publishers, compiling three books into one is a splendid idea, especially if it's a trilogy, like Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials." (this series was so darn sad i wanted to cry, but kept holding it off because i wanted to see how it ended)
other times, it doesn't make sense, unless you want a crash course in popular lit, like the Sookie Stackhouse novels.
both paperbacks are as thick as phonebooks (and just as heavy too) but i seem to have zipped through the latter quicker than the former.
thankfully, Harris is more fun to read than Stephanie Meyers (I read Twilight and wanted to cringe, ew, hehehe) --and reading her short story in the vampire/birthday themed anthology (Many Bloody Returns) was a good look into her storytelling style.
definitely saving up for the next three-in-one in the Sookie Stackhouse series (mentally plays corny Selecta 3-in-1 plus 1 jingle).
