It's not like I'm addicted to jewelry/shoes/expensive clothes.<br /><br />2. Hour for hour it's a very cheap addiction.<br /><br />3. I don't lease a car for three years and then have to get another one (okay, this one is special for my husband).Kimhttp://www.bookstorepeople.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-86820366141779171612009-10-11T20:45:40.623-05:002009-10-11T20:45:40.623-05:00Another vote for Option #3!

In fact, I don't really think it's a vice at all -- we're broadening our minds, developing our community (even if it's only online) and supporting an industry. Where's the bad in that? :)<br /><br />My family has been on me for some time now about my addiction. I'm up to over 900 books in my house and there's end of the grief they give me. But when my sister came looking for a book for her college class and I didn't have it, she fussed that my collection wasn't broad enough.

October is book fair month for me (there are two bookfairs in the same week that I like to go to) and I just recently had the thought that I'm not sure I've read ANY of the books I bought last year at those bookfairs.

I realize that was very poorly constructed sentence, but oh well.<br /><br />That would be my plan! Of your three choices, though, I would probably pick one (I have practically no money--I'm not old enough to have a job). If I had a decent job, I'd pick three.
