Too many books

You know you buy too much mail-order stuff when you need a dolly to get the week's packages out of The UPS Store and into the car.

After opening the boxes, this week's stack is 46 books, arriving from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Shocklines, and Cold Tonnage Books. Yikes. I really need to control this bookbuying habit of mine.

Forty-six books!

Anything good?

You mean you haven't been buying books from abebooks.com, ebay, booksamillion.com and clarkesworld.com?

Wow. *genuflects* Is this a normal purchase pattern for you, or do you save up and go crazy a few times a year?

Wowza, ok you just made me feel a lot less bad about my own impulsive book buying. I'm nowhere near that bad (though hardcovers do stack up fast, ack!!)
