I was just complaining & she only tells me not to because I am the one always complaining we don't have any money.

Plus, I buy games too often.

It doesn't get any better if you have money.  :D

Heh, my wife complains all the time about my habit of compulsively buying books on Amazon - mind you she has a point ...   :hmm:

I have something like a dozen on mine.  I need to get on the stick.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Couple years ago I made a new year's resolution that I wouldn't buy any more books until my unread pile is under 20. It's now sitting at around 35. :mad:

Atleast she doesn't complain about my book buying habits. That would be ground for total dismissal!

I just can't buy hardcovers at retail. Something in me stops it from happening.

You two should just be glad you don't buy hardcover french books. Actually the HCs are usually price similarly. It's the paperback editions that makes me want to murder.
