sometimes i throw things into my amazon.com shopping cart just to watch their prices fluctuate. i've been watching this oddity drop about 15-30 cents a day. it's almost like a mini-lottery or something. i get excited to see the number every morning (this book started out at a whalloping $70). i watched the Georgetown book that i want drop from $38 to $16.30. good thing i didn't buy it back when i was hankering for it. now i can pick it up for a much more reasonable price. i'm holding out a little longer, though it hasn't dropped any for several weeks now. the other one, however, is still steadily dropping.
and this is the sort of thing that tells me that i have no life.
: o p
i also want this, but the library has it, so i am going to check it out and read it and then decide about it.
and a new book about Eddy just came out, which i will naturally have to have for my collection. i want harrison's biography too, but it's selling for $100! gad.
of course, i want all these books, but i have no time anymore to read them, it would seem. the drifts are getting rather high at my house and i'm still quite a ways from making the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
50bookchallenge (reading Stephenson hasn't helped there any, either). i have four books on the burner (four and a half, really), but i think that leaves me still short unless i pull an all-weekend read-in before new years. right now, that sounds like heaven on earth to me, frankly.
i've gone from working-in-the-libray euphoria to working-in-the-library despair lately. so many books. so little time.

oooh!
Don't despair, Boo! Working in a library is a very very nice thing...don't let it overwhelm you. :-)
I flaked on my reading totally. I opened Montmorency and read about 10 pages (that I loved--T.Y., again.) but never managed to get back to it. I'll begin again in the New Year.
I had the same experience with a toaster on amazon. I finally purchased it at $9.99 maybe if I'd held out a little longer it would have been FREE hahahaha

even the harrison biography got repackaged as a Jack the Ripper thing. i might get a copy, but i'd rather have the original.
some good picts of Eddy have gone by on ebay lately too (my cousin always alerts me) ~ i just can't afford 'em anymore. too bad.

p.s. i am writing a story about a moo-cow. it's not about you, but it has your spirit in it.

Re: oooh!
I'm wondering what my "spirit" might be --but whatever you mean, I'm infinitely touched by that (seriously) and wish you great good luck with the story and wouldn't mind being invited to read it sometime. :-)
