So we went to Border's last night with a friend. Stimulating conversation, innocent browsing, when -- WABAM!! -- at the check out buying thirty dollars worth of stuff -- Shadow of the Wind and a little journal with birds on the cover that I guess were peeping at me to buy them or something. Andrew also found twenty-five dollars' worth of merchandise and bought Guns Germs and Steel and Dante's Inferno. As we walked out of the store, we cursed Border's and our lack of will to wait 'til we got home to order the books on line. But oh how I love it....... especially today reading our new books under the tree at the park :)

I also have the book buying addiction. I own over half of your purchases. If Andrew wants to keep reading Dante's divine comedy, I could ship him the other two books in the trilogy. They are on one of the four overflowing bookshelves in out tiny apartment.
The library is the only cure for this. Amazon and other used book sellers are great, but you still end up with too many books.
