That's surprising about the U2 album. Any idea whether this is a temporary price? Or maybe it's a sneak peek into the future of album pricing?

Definitely temporary...probably good for a couple days, which is usually how Amazon does it.

HIGHLY recommend the road, especially for fans of stephen king's the gunslinger in the dark tower series. the road has a similiar tone, but is much more emotional and really connects with the reader. the movie is supposed to come out this year, dont know when though. im expecting it to be just as good if not better than that other mccarthy movie-adapted story, no country for old men.

The U2 album is a good deal.... I am an apple fan and only use apple computers and ipods and Amazon works fine... Tried it out for the first time today, I guess they can consider it a mission accomplished.

That seems to happen frequently. Check back again in a day or two, as they have this deal often.
