33. Best Seller 畅销书

            A: What's that book you have under your arm?
            B: It's the best seller everone's been talking about for the last
            six months.
            A: How in the world did you get a copy? I've had a hold in at the
            public library for weeks, and I'm still waiting my turn.
            B: I checked it out of the rental library. It only costs five cents
            a day.
            A: Is it really worth paying for?
            B: I can't tell yet. I haven't got beyond the first chapter.
            A: If it's any good, I'll buy a copy when it comes out in the pocket
            edition.
