Two things
First of all I’d like to join with Carl and say “I’m a bookaholic.”
It was only last week that I’d never been in the brand spanking new Chapters[1] shop on Parnell st., but once I’d been I just kept returning. Picking more books that I know I never really intended to buy. I just kept [...]
