I went to a board meeting yesterday, just next door to a Barnes & Noble. Arriving early, a quick browse was the obvious way to kill time. Hence:

I seriously have a book-buying problem. Forget TBR pile, let's make a support group for people who keep buying books, even when they have literally HUNDREDS to read already. Anyway:
The Complete Sherlock Holmes
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Why is there no touchstone for Deathly Hallows?

Darn B&N and their email coupons!
Four books from them today:
Dragonhaven by Robin McKinley
The Intellectual Devotional, which I've been looking at for months
Cultural Amnesia by Clive James, though I've not read him before
The Nymphos of Rocky Flats, Mario Acevedo's first novel, which was on the bargain table.
Total: about $50. Dang. Last week I got 21 books for $7 at a library sale. Why do I buy retail?

Yesterday I bought two Bibles--the New American version and a King James version. I have been reading The Year of Living Biblically and it inspired me to do a bit more bible reading.
I REALLY wanted to buy a lot more books, but with all the gift-giving I need to do soon, I decided against it. Plus, there are the 100+ books that I already own that I haven't read. Not that those will stop me from buying for long.

>16 uath: Uath - I couldn't find The Legal Secretary Also Cooks in search. What is it about? It is such an odd title and with me working in a law office it has piqued my curiosity.

Hi Jenson_AKA_DL
It's a cookbook I just picked up at a used bookstore. There are no identifying marks (ISBN, date or place of publication, group responsible, etc.) so I did the best I could manually.
It flips, like a stenographers pad and it's made of a sturdy material, kind of like card stock and is the color of a dark brown paper grocery bag throughout.
There is a picture on the front of an old woodburning stove. It was so unique that I had to pick it up.

Just got Beyond the Body Farm which should be a good read. Haven't read any forensic study books in a long time, so this should be fun.

The Color Purple by Alice Walker
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
And by a sheer miracle I have touchstoned every single one!
I have already read Hitchhiker's guide but it cost $2.50 at a second hand store so I thought I'd get it anyway.
All together it cost me $10.50, which is a bargain in Australia.
