textbooks - *warning* - this is a boring post!
hello all...
i'm not sure what to talk about today! oh oh my. last night i bought myself "the pilgrim's progress" because i had started reading it once in bible college but never finished it. and last night dad and i went to parables to price something out for insurance, and the new "modern language" version is out and on sale, so i bought it. why the heck not i thought. so if you've read it, leave me a comment with some of your thoughts on it.
i love buying books. books books books. i love to have textbooks and reference books and biography's and really good works of fiction. lynnel has begun an impressive collection of classics, like pride & prejudice, wuthering heights and great expectations. between the two of us, we could have the beginning of a great library. i also really like to look at maps. if i was really rich and had a fancy house, i would absolutely love to have a room that i would call "the library" or "the study," just like in the game of clue. i would have the walls lined with dark cherry bookshelves, and a matching desk that would be huge. and all the bookshelves would be filled with books. and there would be big maps of the world from different centuries on the walls. ooh fantastic. and there would be a dark leather couch with lamps everywhere. and i would have a laptop. yah, so i hope i get my library/study someday.
wow at 12 the office always gets so nice and quiet. i love it like this.
yah so i've been totally browsing amazon.ca the last couple of days. i found every single one of my text books on there and i could essentially save myself over $100.00 if i bought on that site. although the thing is, i don't know how much i'd actually save when i start paying shipping and handling. and then there's the whole 3-5 week wait part - which isn't so bad if i bought them all now. and THEN there's the whole "do i really NEED that text book?" thing... this year i really gotta try to get as many cheap texts as possible. school is so expensive.
what a boring post this is. sorry guys i got nothing.

I agree, that's on my 100 things to do before I die, have a great library with the best books in the world.
yes i agree that that would be a good goal.
alison, did you ever have a prof named j.coggins? just curious.
oh see not a boring post at all what with all of us wanting a library just like you described! me too me too!
i think it's funny/ironic that its the blondes that have the exuisite library collection
well at the moment, neither of us are blonde ;) right now, we are both... intellectuals.
Well, I think you are best to go with Amazon. They have free shipping on many items if you are willing to wait a few weeks. And if you go and buy 1 book or 2 books at a store, it will give you something to do while you are waiting for your books from amazon. I buy through amazon and the shipping is really low in cost and it usually doesn't take too long.
Now while we are on the subject and I am a shamless self promoter, I know of a good book you should buy today! Its called The Heart and The Imagination. Its written by Tyler Hay and its only $10.00 plus $1.00 for shipping!
