I managed to show a bit more restraint last month, though I couldn’t help succumbing to some random whims. I really don’t know how it is that you can decide for years that you don’t need certain books, that it doesn’t matter to you if you read them, and then suddenly your mind completely changes—for arbitrary reasons, no less.

Enough talking around it, let’s check out these books.Read More »

Somehow, I went absolutely ham with buying books last month. I don’t think it’s an egregiously high number, all things considered, but it was enough to make me procrastinate writing this post. I didn’t mean to indulge myself this much, I just wound up having too many opportunities to pick up new books at decent prices. I’m once again concerned I forgot one or two, but I do believe all of the are presented below.

Let’s see the damage, shall we? I’m seriously running out of places to put these things.Read More »

Well, I haven’t left this post too terribly late this month, but I probably should’ve had it up last week. I just felt the itch for other things, I suppose. The only other source of hesitation is the belief that I’m once again forgetting some book or other that I purchased and just hefted onto the pile. I’m pretty confident that I got everything, though. It’s a weird month, because despite the number of books, it feels like I didn’t actually get very many.

Let’s see just what the heck I’m talking about.Read More »

I have no idea what has come over me this past month or so, but I somehow managed to procrastinate writing this post into oblivion, such that I’ll likely be writing another one of these next week, unless I fall into the mental trap again.

Enough dwelling on mistakes, let’s check out these books.Read More »

I know it wasn’t just me, but goodness January felt like it lasted much too long. So long, in fact, that I could’ve sworn I had already posted about one of the new books included in this post today. I actually had to cross-reference with when I wrote down somewhere else that I’d finally gotten it to confirm. I think reading Moby-Dick honestly had the most to do with the protracted time for me, along with the dreary cold of the season.

I think I talk about time too much, when really this is about these new books.Read More »

December was a weird month because once again I feel like I’m forgetting something, and I feel as if I did a lot more shopping for myself than was actually the case, so I keep thinking the stock I’ve taken of my books is wrong. This isn’t helped by the fact that I actually did forget a book in November, busy month that that one was. All I can say for sure is, I didn’t get any books for Christmas, so I’m not carelessly forgetting a gift.

Enough waffling, let’s see these books.Read More »
