The discovery of the hole in my pocket.

GOODREADS, I BLAME YOU FOR SEDUCING ME TO RAID BOOK DEPOSITORY, EBAY AND AMAZON AND BORDERS AND ALL THAT LOVERLYDOVERLY STUFF CAUSE I JUST BOUGHT 9 BOOKS TONIGHT, AND THERE IS NO ROOM ON MY BOOKSHELF TO MAKE THEM LOOK PRETTY, AND THIS JUST KEEPS HAPPENING AND HAPPENING AND HAPPENING AND NOW I FINALLY REALISE WHERE ALL MY MONEY HAS GONE!!!!!!! BORDERS, DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT I'M-SO-SAD-AND-AM-DYING-SO-YOU'RE-DOING-A-GOOD-THING LOOK, DON'T YOU DO THAT YOU LITTLE WEENER SAUSAGE FRANKFURT MAN. Blah.


I'm really, really, really, really excited, as excited as I would be if you gave me a part of a baby. Check it out, I even got classics! Yahooooooogoogle!

Room - Emma Donoghue
The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
Your Memory - Kenneth L. Higbee
Tinkers - Paul Harding

Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

The Myth of Sisyphus - Albert Camus
Pale Fire - Vladimir Nabokov
The History of Love - Nicole Krauss

Nausea - Jean-Paul Sartre
A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho (I listened!)

If you're wondering why there's 11 not 9, it's cause I bought two more while typing this blog, it's like an ILLNESS. Also, if you decide to visit book depository, the 'watch people shop' feature is so cool. I've been staring for the last 20 minutes. SOMEONE IN BELGIUM BOUGHT TREE OF CODES 32 MINUTES AGO! Gonna travel there and marry him/her/whatever.

Also, can you believe this is the real title of a book?!

How to be the Best Bubblewriter in the World Ever.
