Re: I was born in...
The new year will be a good time to come over and play with your errand to run to the store.

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

The new year will bring home the same time for you and your family to be there for a good time

Another silly internet game from @CFiesler
Mine was Serenity and Firefly DVDs in 2006Let's play a game. Go to Amazon, to "Your Orders," and with the year drop-down, find the earliest year listed... and then RT and tell us what the FIRST thing you ever bought on Amazon was. Bonus points for it being nearly 20 years ago. #BabysFirstAmazon
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Re: I was born in...
My first order was the hardcover editions of volumes X-XII of The History of Middle-earth in early 2008. Apparently I paid for it with a gift card which I assume was a Christmas present from one of my aunts or uncles who had given up on trying to find non-book gifts (I'm sure I wasn't an easy kid to shop for ).

My first order was on June 8, 2002, and it was two CD's by Famoudou Konate, one the greatest djembefolas of all time, and a close friend of my teacher, Mamady Keita.

Re: I was born in... (cute internet games)
My first Amazon order was April 2010, of a Kindle and a protective cover.
Following that, 99% of my orders have been digital (imagine that!).
The only physical orders since that time:
Three further Kindles and protective covers (in 2012 and 2014)
Maths instruments cuff links (tiny little protractors), and physics equations silk tie. (2015)
Windhome (2017)
I'm not a prolific Amazon buyer - where I can, I prefer to support local.

Re: I was born in... (cute internet games)
Here's another.
Pick up the book nearest to you.
Add 'Harry Potter and' as a prefix to the title of the book.

Mine is Harry Potter and the Talking God, which sounds legit.
