So I finished up the book T bought me for Christmas along with all the books I borrowed of M's months ago. I realized today that I'm in a really big reading mood, so on the way home from work I made a pit stop to powells book store. Now I normally don't find much in the way of books to read from there, in fact I've never before made a purchase. But today I was just strolling along and thought what the hell can't hurt to look. Now for those of you who have ever been to a book store with me will know this already, but I don't really pick books for any reason other than the cover looks interesting. I know I know you can't judge a book by its cover blah blah, but it turns out I can and I normally do a pretty good job. The problem with Powells is that you can't really see most of the book covers, so there is a lot of pulling out and putting back that has to go on before you really find anything.
Today however I was in a pleasant evnough mood that doing this didn't seem too terribly hard. I was around for 15 20 minutes, and was just about to leave and I decided what the hell and pick a book (now one can say this more often at Powell's because the book are like 4.95, and all in all a bad choice is really about the cost of a cup of coffee). Then I walked around the store like eight more times. As I was getting ready to leave I decided on another book by Jane Austen because well lets face it I love Jane Austen. Then I managed to pick up three more books on my way out, from the same place I walked through like ten times. I tell ya I dont' know what is wrong with me.
Now I have five books and I really don't know what book I want to read first. Don't start telling me that I should just read them all at once. I'm really not capable of that. Plus then which one do you start first. Ahh so many choices I just don't know what to do.
