Unfairness Redux

It's really a shame to start break week in as foul a mood as I'm in right now.

Further deponent sayeth not.

Uppers

To lighten my mood, I made the promised trip to Piece of Mind. Since my Amazon raid on Saturday netted no fiction, I decided to restrict my purchases this time to nothing but. I bought:

  • Fool Moon, by Jim Butcher, the second of the Dresden Files books.

  • High Five, by Janet Evanovich - yet more Stephanie Plum.

  • The Big Over Easy, by Jasper Fforde: I've enjoyed the Thursday Next books, so I thought I'd try his other series.

  • A thick volume of poetry by Robert Browning. (I already have one such, but I ask you: how can you title your book The Works of Browning and not include "Rabbi Ben Ezra"?) (I made sure that this one did have it.)

  • Cyrano de Bergerac, complete with a DVD of the 1950 film (which I already have on tape, but what the heck).

  • CateGorey, by - guess! (I love his drawings, and I don't have anywhere near enough of them.)

Some people eat ice cream. I buy books. It works.
