>>There are a number of books that I haven't read yet. I had the good fortune to come across a bookstore that was going to go out of business and got to buy several grocery bags of books for $1.00 a bag. I only recently have resolved to limit how often I go to the bookstore. In fact it has been about 4 weeks since my last visit to one which is probably the longest I have ever gone without dropping by.

>I find it hard to get out of a bookstore for less than $100, so I try to limit my visits.

>I had an interesting problem recently. When I went to Seattle for the MVP Summit, I had 4 (library) books with me, which should have been enough. But for one reason or another, before I came home, it was clear that I was going to finish the last book before getting home. So I wandered over to Barnes & Noble to get a book for the flight home (or at least the part of it where they wouldn't let me work).

>I found it very hard to choose one book. It would have been easy to buy 8 or 10 and I would have been done much sooner. I actually ended up with 2, but it was still tough.

>Turned out to be a good thing I'd made the trip. I got stuck in Pittsburgh overnight and definitely needed the additional book.

Have you ever noticed the 'book store time warp'? I'll browse in a bookstore for 15-20 minutes and Angela will ask "Where have you been the last 4 hours?" Happens every time.
