This is a checklist, apparently. Farewell, ca. $900.
I don't know why I get bored with things so quickly. I have half a dozen new books sitting on my shelf, but the thing is, they've been sitting there for a while. I have no real desire to read them. Which just means I have to order more books pronto.
Another thing; I haven't made any real lists since Jan 1st (although it's a good one), so I'll just make one of the books I want. Right now.
