darn you, fictionwise!
fictionwise, why do you tempt me so? i had a stack of books in my cart to take advantage of the halloween 25% micropay rebates on dark fantasy. then i thought "do i really need these now? i have tons of books i haven't read yet - why not hold off for a potentially better sale?"
then i went to check my email and found a coupon there for 20% off the total of one order. i found myself under your spell and helpless to resist your temptation... now i have even MORE books to read! |

Yeah, I went through the same angst a few weeks ago when ALL their books were 50% off. My Wish List got smaller, but - holy cow! - I'll never catch up!

It is better than a reader with nothing to read.

People, it's time to stop downloading and start reading.

you could always rotate books in and out at that point.
not that i'm close - only 300 titles on my cybook (and an additional 200 on my harddrive that haven't made it to my mobipocketreader or cybook yet). but then, it's only been 4 1/2 months it's not all downloading - i'm reading as fast as i can |
