Yeah, I can't go and buy a 21st bookcase. Tom Send a noteboard - 15/07/2012 01:38:56 PM
Moving the D&D books to nice plastic boxes was my last tactical move before getting a bigger house. I have enough books to keep myself occupied for at least ten years, so I'm stopping. I'll buy the last WoT book to find out how it ends, and probably do the same with Martin, and buy new Sanderson books potentially, but I'm done buying new books generally. Period.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
