I was hoping we wouldnt go here...
Talking about books always forces me to face reality, my reality.
See, I have a problem. Actually, an addiction.
If I get anywhere near a book store, it is a guaranteed transaction of at least $100. I simply cant help myself.
My wife has sought help for me, even going so far as telling the manager at the local Borders that I may be a security threat (kidding).
After reading Death's post last night I went to Amazon and spent close to $200. Wait till the wife see's that one.
Len, I had to take a 3 day class back in December that required me to travel. While getting ready to leave the house, I realized I didnt have a book to read while away. I went and grabbed the Orson Scott Card book that had been sitting on my bookshelf for about 8 years.
It was the first fiction book I had read in about 6 years, the last being a re-read of The Hobbit. I read Ender's Game in about 2 days, and needed get the sequel for the trip home that week.
I was a great escape for a few days.
