As the updated reading list on the right of the screen will testify, I’ve been buying books again, even though I haven’t finished reading the last lot. Which is odd really, as I only went out last night to go to Sainsbury’s to pick up bread rolls and toilet duck (which might in itself sound odd, but at least I knew that my shopping selections would be safe from Richard Herring-style checkout assistant scrutiny, as it wasn’t a Local Sainsbury’s for Local people). I didn’t actually need to go past Borders to get to the supermarket either, so I can’t even blame them for drawing me in with their tempting 3-for-2 offer. No, I had to make a conscious decision to go past, and THEN I got drawn in by their cunning placement of two books I wanted to buy on a table by the door with lots of little 3-for-2 stickers on them. And it would just be rude not to buy them and a third book I didn’t want, cause, like, the third one is free. And how can you turn down a free book–you can’t can you?
