I was just going through my Amazon wish list, and John Dies at the End is $180. Why didn't I buy it right away?

I took Bryce to Half Price Books where we spent way too much time and money. Seriously, Bryce kept us in there for well over two hours, so I of course left the store with goodies and amusement ( Read more... )

A friend of mine is starting an informal online book club, so I decided to join. I've been wanting to expand my literary horizons, anyway. My friend chose the first book, Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. Bryce saw that and loudly declared it the worst book he'd ever read, so I'm quite excited about it. Yay ( Read more... )
