Damn You, Book Club! Damn You And Your Bargains!

Well, I've now reached my 8-book limit on what I'm allowed to buy or order this month... The Quality Paperback Book Club was having a buy-one-get-one-half-price sale, and, well, they were offering William Gibson's Pattern Recognition, which I'd kind of been meaning to get at some point, anyway. And then there was A Traveler's Guide to Mars, which just looked really cool, and, well... I'm weak. When it comes to book-shopping, I am very, very weak.

Sigh. I was really hoping it'd be a bit later in the month when I finally reached this point, but I am going to stick to my resolution, damn it.

Depressingly, despite said resolution, the number of books on my To-Read Pile has only gone up this month, mainly because, uh, well, I ordered a whole bunch of books last month. And I've only read four books so far this month, so it looks like my quota for September is going to be even smaller.

Man, self-control sucks.
