During all the mass cleaning (mentioned earlier) I threw away basically all remnants of my junior high/high school life. I don’t really attach much feeling to stuff like that. What I did save during all my cleaning, however, is my books. I love books and reading.
So I’ve decided to collect books instead of other crap to hand on to my potential offspring/nieces/nephews when I die. Now this means I’m going to have to start searching for first editions and signed copies (all blessings upon google and ebay). After search around for a couple hours after having this idea I realized what an expensive and heavy hobby this is going to be. I think it will be more fun that way; a little bit of a challenge to keep buying books without going broke or breaking my book case.
At any rate first book I’m going after is “A House of Pomegranates” by Oscar Wilde. Currently I’m searching for a 1st American Edition (as the English ones are over a grand, Yikes!). I found one copy that I’m considering buying.
I think my mom wishes I would save my money for college books, instead of ones that will sit in my apartment.
Tough shit though for her. I’m caving to my inner child and going “I want it, I want it!” It’s even more annoying when it’s the voices inside your head being juvenile instead of actual children.
