Last night, because the last thing I need are more books to fill my already overfilled shelves, I bought three novels at a local bargain bookstore (sort of a low-rent version of New York’s infinitely cool Strand Bookstore) on the way home from work. Reasonably new paperbacks of Caitlin R. Kiernan’s first novel Silk and Poppy Z. Brite’s Exquisitie Corpse, as well as a hardcover of William Gibson’s All Tomorrow’s Parties — all for about thirteen dollars. Which would be wonderful if I had more time to read, or read more quickly than I do, or didn’t already have a stack ten or twelve books deep waiting to be read. Already, I’m not quite keeping to my New Years resolution of a new book every two weeks. How do other people do it?
