What I hope is a salutary lesson for me:
Last month, I came across a reference to a book that sounded interesting and my kind of thing and since it was inexpensive, I bought it. The positives are that the price didn't create the want and that I am reading it now instead of letting it languish. But in fact, it's not that good. If I had stopped to think a bit longer I think I could have resisted, which would have been the better thing to do. Constant vigilance is called for.
On other fronts, after an (especially) August and September where I might consider myself to have overindulged somewhat, I haven't bought anything this month (knock wood) which should help my averages. My TBR is down 14 on the year which isn't great, but at least it's down. It's not a problem per se, but an issue that goes back to my DTB days is that library books with their due dates push owned books further down the pipeline.
