I don't know if it's anything any of you would think worth buying (except maybe SE) but I just spend $40 on a 1000 page XML manual.  It's a good deal considering Programming books usealy cose about $40 for 200-300 page and the 1000+ page books usealy go for $120 or more.

used bookstores are so dangerous for me.  I always leave them with a ton of books and no money.  I always buy the cool stuff that's out of print.

My two three four book related wishes: (at least, I think there's just two...)

- being able to read some books again for the 1st time
- being able to buy all the books I love in hardcover
- being able to buy all the books I want
- being able to read all the books that are near my bed. I used to do this by ignoring my work. However, I do want to pass the odd exam, so *sighhh*

Karen volunteer(s/ed) at the Newport Beach Library Friends of the Library store every first Saturday (since we're moving, she's quitting, but turns out we're not moving THAT far away, so...hmmm). When she was closing up this week I walked by the $1 hardback book cart, and they had a beautiful copy of Sylvia Engdahl's Enchantress from the Stars that I just had to get. Great book from 1970, and the new 2001 edition is gorgeous.

All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I love the Newport Beach Library. The architecture was the only thing that kept me and my brothers from going insane when our mother used to drag us down there to do geneology.

Rawr.  See and now I'm REALLY broke.  I suppose I could use all this free time to, you know, go to the library or something...
