    That's a problem I never have.

    I'm a regular library patron.

    I also buy books cheap at yard sales, garage sales and flea markets (called "swap meets" in some parts) as well as library sales and used book stores. Sometimes the flea markets will let you take a whole bag of books for only a dollar or two!

    I also am on the e-mail list at Borders and Barnes & Nobel. I buy books every time they e-mail a good coupon.

    My "to read" stack is almost as tall as I am, and I'm a constant reader.

    Do all these things and you'll quickly go from your current problem to my problem: too many books! :)

    I'm 73% (what my iPod tells me, I don't actually know) of the way through A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Pretty awesome story. I think I'll read the rest of the series. If he ever finishes it.

    ^ Those are great. That's why I loved the 2nd movie, with Johnny Depp--it was so much more like the book!

    How are you liking it so far? I found the series to be an easy-to-read and enjoyable treat, especially after heavy reading. :)

    I love the series. It's one of my favorites, although I think the whole lemur thing for The Time Paradox was a bit stupid. A lemur, really? Anyway, it WAS very good. :)

    I'm reading .....DUNE.

    only about a fifth of the way through it and already I can see massive events being hinted at by the narrative. I love how complex and absolutely perfectly composed each page is.

    "The Hunger Games" series (terrific, i can't wait for the third book to come out in august!) and the "Graceling" series (once again, can't wait for the third book to come out!) they are just an amazing set of books for all of those fantasy fans out there :)
