my unread books are growing out of control but I can't stop myself.

Same here.
Just can't stop buying shit.
Money is not the problem,since I can buy a book for less than a dollar.
It's more about storage space.
Last purchase was pic related for 3~ dollars

I've heard it's good and I've heard people with your opinion of it but I've never heard anyone (barring the /r9k/ crowd) say it is shit. I decided to give it a go when I saw they had a hardback of it at the store yesterday.

I'm pissed off, they didn't say in the description that a brief history of time wouldn't have a dust cover. So, not only did I accidentally order "a briefer history of time" the first time, but then when I ordered the actual brief history of time, it's not what I ordered. fucking shit.

This decade saw the first translation of the book to Brazilian Portuguese and so I started reading an ebook of it.
Didn't get to finish, but it certainly is one of the funniest novels I came across.

I've just borrowed Indignation by Roth at my local library, their slection in English is shit and it seemed to be the only book worth reading.
Is it a good Roth or should I just stick to what I have to read right now and wait till I get the opportunity to read another one of his books?

Where'd you get the McElroy? I just received two of his from Amazon (marketplace).
>>8254726
Same.
I get the same amount of endorphins from buying a book as I do finishing one -- and one requires more effort than the other :/
