in which our narrator contemplates the endlessly receding horizon

[heresluck]

A few weeks ago I cleaned up my Books To Get list and found, to my delight, that I'd actually made a dent in it. It was still a long list (six pages, single-spaced, 10pt Times New Roman), but several focused trips to bookstores and some judicious borrowing from truepenny had allowed me to cross off quite a lot.

Yesterday stakebait posted a request for urban fantasy

Hee! Sorry about that.

[heresluck]

Yeah, I bet. You and melymbrosia both.

Of course, I can blame the list on other people, but the greediness and tendency to lose all financial sense when standing in a used bookstore are, sadly, all my own.

No, I'm not.

You should post your list(s).

[heresluck]

Of course you're unrepentant. You are The First Evil of book-list additions. Mer will have to do a hell of a lot more posts before she even attains minion status.

As for posting my list, no way. Between the "you haven't read [x]?!" and the "oh, but you must also read [y]!" I suspect I would end up both embarrassed and (more) broke.

I haven't read Alice in Wonderland, Ulysses, or any novels by Faulkner. Post!

I think that just makes you kinda normal. Still, point taken. I'll post sometime this week.
