Book-buying bug

Its been close to 3 weeks since i've bought a book...my hands are starting to itch again. Last time I saw this book at a store on special. Took alot of work NOT to buy it...actually, took cookies alot of strength to drag me out of the store without buying it...Maybe I should go back on friday and see if its still there. But then I also want to buy this, this and this. Dan Brown is probably my favourite author of the moment. His books are so full of detail and the amount of research he puts into a book is incredible. Apparently at one stage, all four of his books were on the New York Times best sellers list in the same week. I totally understand why.

When I first picked up Da Vincis Code, the first few pages were kinda average. It basically described the history and artworks behind certain things in his books. Once I got past that, I could not put the book down. I finished reading his entire novel in 2 days. I quickly picked up Angels and Demons and also finished that in 2 days. I know some people are calling me a nerd. But until you read one of his books, you won't understand my "strange" behaviour. All I need to do is go to the shops and buy his other two books this week and that should keep be preoccupied for a week or two :D

Until then, I'm going to start reading the 60 odd books I have at home which I haven't read. Starting with Patricia Cornwell. So far, I am loving every word of her books! Luckily for me, I have about 7 of her books at home which I havent read. Problem is.....I bought all her books at a bookfair, meaning they are kinda tacky. Based on my previous behviour...if I like her books as much as I suspect I will....I am going to go out and buy every single one of her books again. Just so I can have them in brand new, non stained, creasefree, greaseless condition. I'm very picky about my books. I read my books on the train every day and I ALWAYS wrap them in a plastic bag. That way they never get dirty, and because I wrap them quite tight, they never get bent or creased or ripped. I also read my new books without bending the spine! AHeAHeah Just me and my strange habits...

Right now, I am so tempted to call up the bookstore i frequent so much and ask them to hold all of the four books for me...But, I, Must, RESIST! ~>_<~

Oh crap.....I just realised.....it hasn't been 3 weeks since I bought a book...I bought 2 books on saturday....

This is what happens when I walk by Kmart and remember that paperbacks are 35% off and I get an additional 5% off... I just bought Dan Brown's "Deception Point" and Souad's "Burned alive". Now I only have to get Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress" and Simon Cox's "Cracking The Da Vinci Code". Maybe I should go shopping tomorrow.....
