there's a Borders on Hay Street Mall in the city...

... opposite David Jones, next to EB Games, where Lincraft used to be. [thanks for giving me such accurate coordinates, loony]

so jane took me and cheryl there today. it is AWESOME. there's ANY BOOK YOU WANT in there. don't believe me?

they have the whole series [or most of it] of rurouni kenshin in there.

they have TWO ROWS of david gemmell in there. a whole shelf, ONE WHOLE BLOODY SHELF, for terry pratchett. shelves and shelves of manga.

i wanted so many books. national geographic had this massive, 60kg book of pics. 60 bucks. i wasn't even carrying that much. david gemmell's first book for the troy trilogy was there. edding's the dreamers series. a lot of random books that looked interesting. yes, i even looked at a bright yellow self-help book designed to help me figure myself out.

anyway, i was grinning like one of them damn cheshire cats - you know, the creepy one in alice in wonderland? - and bouncing around the store just cause i was so happy. yes, fine, call me a geek if you must. but know this, what william hung feels for his singing, i feel for my books.

debated and argued - with myself - for a while.

but in the end i got this.

nah, they didn't have this cover.

they had this one. soooo nice, i love it more than that one up there. 32.95 dammit. but bloogy nice cover.


after ages of internal struggle. i went for the more economical option.

22 bucks of this.


why am i so cheap?
