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.

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.
