My biggest weakness since birth has been books.  Books of any shape, any size, any subject matter.

So you can imagine that when you get me in a bookstore, it’s likely that you won’t see me again for quite a while.  My mom threatened to leave me at the library often as a child.  Hmm…that could explain any fear of abandonment.  Anyway, hitting the bookstore has pretty much become an every Saturday event for me.

This Saturday, it was a dangerous situation.  I went in with the intention of purchasing exactly two books.  That’s it.  I knew their names and everything.  But if I knew myself better, I would have known that there was no chance in hell of actually walking out without only two books.  Especially when they place the clearance items right inside the door.

I can usually pass them by pretty easily, maybe only grabbing one or two on the way.  However, this Saturday was an exception.  Their clearance was 50% off!  Yeah, I’m not sure how many books I ended up leaving with, but it was quite a few.  Granted, most of them were only $1.99.  That still adds up!

And so, my stack of unread books keeps growing.  I wish I could live forever just so that I could read all of the books I want.
