Looks like the book collecting trend continued in March. First edition hard covers every where. If I keep up at this pace, I’ll never be able to read the books I own. The interesting thing is that not a single book on my list is or ever will be considered collectible. They aren’t hard to find and they probably aren’t particularly well known or sought after. So why the rush to buy them now? And why bother with the extra cash to get them in hard cover? I have no idea. But if you’re a psychologist, be sure to let me know your thoughts.

If it weren’t for a few trips out of town, I’m wondering if I would’ve read any books at all this month. But at least I have a healthy stock of books I haven’t read, just in case I get stranded and have the time to read a book each day.
