so many books, so little time

damn you mph. damn you for giving a storewide 20% discount just for this weekend, and just when i happen to pop into the store to simply buy a new pen. now i've added two new books to my "really-want-to-read-but-haven't-got-the-time-to" collection which is currently building up on my bookshelf. let's see... there's (in no order of merit... though those with nicer covers i tend to favour slightly more.)

  • adventures in capitalism; finding myself; corpsing; beatniks (thanks mel for this one) - toby litt
  • the ultimate hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (i'll get to this someday) - douglas adams
  • life of pi - yann martel
  • vernon god little - dbc pierre

(Q: what do the last two have in common? A: that's right, they're both booker prize winners. i'm a sucker for stuff like that.)

  • the curious incident of the dog in the night-time - mark haddon
  • spies - michael frayn
  • on nietzsche - wadsworth philosophers series (this one's proving to be rather tough to finish. let alone start.)

so without further ado, please welcome 2 new inductees into the Hall of Bookshelf Obscurity,

  • skinny dip - carl hiaasen!
  • the solitaire mystery - jostein gaarder!

we wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and may your pages one day be read!

*applause*
