Friends of the Library Used Book Sale Score

bookpile3

Total Spent: $13.25

P.S. Yes, I am addicted to buying used books. No, I haven't read all the books I last posted a photo of. Yes, I'm still on a short story kick (in theory). No, Mary Karr's memoir is not a short story. Yes, I do get easily distracted and yes, I do have too many damn books. Do you want to make something of it? We could, you know, because I'm just doing laundry right now and waiting for Family Guy to start, so I've got like, five hours.

Nice haul. There's no such thing as too many books; it's right there in my profile, so it must be true.

Is that right, you rarely finish what you start, as in, books? You rarely finish a book? I'm finding that difficult to believe; surely you meant some other often-unfinished task...

I love buying used books. It seems preposterous that you can get a hardcover by a favorite author for $1 when a candy bar costs $.75 these days.

When it comes to books, most of the time I finish what I start. Other tasks....like art projects for example, are hit and miss. If there's a deadline involved, forget it!
