Treat yourself. Treats are what make a life of work worthwhile.

That is my take, anyhow.

Oh, I treat myself all the time. That's the problem. I have debt and should start saving more, yet I treat myself far more than I ought to. Grant you, this is the most expensive indulgence I've incurred as of late, but I really should cut that sort of shit out -_-

In that case, enjoy your treat to yourself!

Enjoy your splurge thoroughly, and then be diligent in your efforts to be thrifty. Thriftiness is tough, I feel your frustration/financial ouchie.

As a bibliomaniac, I must ask: is the book worth the forty dollars you paid for it?

In other words, do you recommend it? Or should I just wait to check it out fromt he library or borrow the book(long-term) from an unsuspecting friend?

PS I LOVE your purse. I want 98% of your buttons.

Well, what I bought was Till Lindemann's book of poetry, "Messer". I've wanted it for AGES, but it's just not something you find in America. So I gave in and ordered it off Amazon. The $35 was the cheapest they got :/

Ahhh, international book sales... I am all too familiar with such sales. As an Anglophile married to a Brit, my husband and I buy our fair share of British books through Amazon UK. At best, the shipping is almost as much at the actual book.

I really want to find this book now that I know that you wanted to buy it so badly.

Don't feel too guilty. Sometimes we need to indulge in something. And besides, it's something you really wanted.
