Bibliophiles Anonymous

Spoils from the book fair today.  Filling a bag was $3.

There's some good stuff in there too: mostly mysteries (P.D. James was abundant today), an A.S. Byatt novel, Sophie's World, a few from the Russians, The Bone People by Keri Hulme (probably the first New Zealand novel I ever read), a copy of Kon-Tiki (which has spent a year on my Amazon wishlist), and some English major nerd stuff.  Like a very lovely looking copy of Joyce's Ulysses that I will most likely never, ever in a thousand years even try to read.  I went a little nuts.  Between my mom and I, we got three bags full.  So now my room looks like this:

Most of the books on the middle shelf I have not yet read.  Same with the small pile next to my bed.  Oh, and there are still several boxes of books in our garage I need to go through.

I think it's safe to say I should stay away from bookstores until, oh, several years from now!
