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.

Bibilomanic guilt

Bibilomania! A rare untreatable, affliction not found in the DSM IV often co-diagnosed with wordaphrenia. A disease often found in writers.

That's pretty funny. Dirk found a book (at the Friends of the Library Book Sale no less) by Hick Hornby called, The Polysyllabic Spree. The blurb on the front: "A hilarious and true account of one man's struggle with the monthly tide of books he's bought and the books he's been meaning to read."
