Stupid Books, Stop Making Me Buy You!

[maxcelcat]

I keep seeing Books... Books everywhere! And they keep begging me to buy them!!!

Darn it, why did Robert Fisk have to write "The Great War for Civilisation - The Conquest of the Middle East", which is winging it's way to me via Ebay.

And why did an original edition of "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" (the book, not the film) have to show up on said Ebay? Darn it! Stupid buy it now button!!!

Then I heard about "The World Without Us" and... Well, you can guess what happened next...

Darn it, I have about twelve books at home waiting for me to read them!!!!

Geelong's a bit far away from where I live so I'm not sure I'd be heading down that way anytime soon. I'll have to try and remember the name just in case though :)

Ooh, Primo Levi. I've read "If This Is A Man" and...I think it's "The Journey" (not sure) by him. They were very good. I haven't read anything else of his...will have to keep an eye out and see if anything comes into the library while I'm there.

Ebay is only evil because it makes me spend money. It is almost entirely responsible for the sad pathetic state of my credit card :/

The Primo Levi book you're talking about is "The Truce". They are often published in a volume together.

Ah yes, ebay is bad for that. I have no credit card, which helps a bit.
