A Book-Buying Break.

I am currently taking a break from buying books, since I recently organized my shelves and found that I have like a hundred books that I haven't read. That is not an exaggeration. For you, I have taken a picture of my Shelves of Shame (not to be confused with the Shelf of Despair, which is where I keep books that I will never read):

Shelves of Shame December 10

Basically, I can't buy another book until I've whittled my to-read section down to two shelves. SIGH. It's hard, you guys, it's really hard.

You'll notice my tiny collection of comic books at the bottom right. DO NOT WORRY. I have read all of them. I know: what a relief that I read Wanted. What if I'd been silly enough to use that time to read Don Quixote? That would've been so tragic.

On the docket.

A list of books I am currently reading, with probability that I'll finish them.

-The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (35%, although I will definitely come back to it later.)

-Parrot and Olivier in America (45%)

-The Man Who Came in From the Cold (82%)

-A Sport and a Pastime (100% because it's for school.)

-The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Short Stories (2% Tobias Wolff can suck it with these selections; they are tuh-ribble!)

-The Emigrants (99%)

Stop yelling at me!
