Books to buy

Usually I'm very responsible about buying new books. I mean, mostly I can get whatever I want from the library without spending any money, or needing to find a place to store it after I'm done reading it. So generally speaking, if I read a review of a book that sounds interesting I get a copy from the library...and then if I fall in love with it after having read it, I'll actually buy a copy. Then every so often I read a review like this one of Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some Other Things That Aren't as Scary, Maybe, Depending on How You Feel About Lost Lands, Stray Cellphones, Creatures from the Sky, Parents Who Disappear in Peru, a Man Named Lars Farf, and One Other Story We Couldn't Quite Finish, So Maybe You Could Help Us Out. and just decide that I need this book, as soon as possible, and I really don't want to wait until the library decides whether or not to order it in. I mean, seriously, with a title like that...and the introduction which you can read on the site I've linked, who wouldn't want a copy? Yeah ok, probably most of you aren't interested...but sometimes I need books and I need them now. Plus the fact that I'm trying to cut back on time spent at the keyboard so that my hands will get better might have something to do with impulse buying books...but maybe I shouldn't be doing that over the internet and then blogging about it. Bad Wendy.
