Yes...yes...I must acquire 10 books at a time so that they can sit on a shelf and wait for when I want to read them. Must obtain...now...

Literary Theory: An Introduction

I know it seems like entry level stuff, but I've been reading literature for years and I've for some reason never got around to reading this stuff. I had never read any Vonnegut before yesterday, when I found an old copy of The Sirens of Titan in my parents house. I finished it in one sitting, and now I am planning to read all of Vonnegut's work over the course of the next month.

I don't buy books because I'm disgustingly jealous of published authors and don't want to support them until I am one myself.
