| Re: Book Hauls! Taltos ... tell me if you do manage to do that. I usually keep the good intention until I actually pass a bookstore. Sometimes it even lasts for several minutes while I'm in a bookstore. |

| Re: Book Hauls! Jasper Fforde's The Fourth Bear I know the library probably won't be getting it. And even if they do I'll have to pay a fee to put myself on a waiting list of several months at least.  So I bought it instead even though I have no job! |

Probably won't make it a month though, I'm still waiting for 4 books which I ordered through a local bookstore, hopefully they will deliver them on time. My prblem is that I manage to buy more books, than I have time to read, and this means that my "to-read" pile is getting larger rather than smaller. | |
