A Book Problem

I have a problem.

They say the best thing to do is to confess it. Well, there you go - I have a problem.

:-)

I love to read books. I love to visit book stores. This weekend, the Davies Expeditionary party of 2004/5 have been suffering from the common cold, so instead of doing the tourist thing, we visited bookstores. Oh oh. On Saturday we visited Barnes and Noble which was a quiet relaxed store with broad subject coverage - with some especially nice photography books. On Monday, we visited Borders which was equally nice, having some rarely-stocked books on Linux and Open-Source.

There's nothing quite as relaxing as grabbing a bunch of books, sitting down in the in-house cafe, listening to piano jazz, sipping good coffee and eating a toasted sandwich, on a cold winters day, and reading. Ahhhh. Out of the 4 day weekend we just had, we got to do this twice. Ahhhh. One of the best perks of spending time in the USA.

Without self-control I could have easily walked out with 20 books. I only bought 3 :-)
