I hate you so much right now.

Which is to say, I don't know what I'm buying, but I can't afford all the stuff I want.

Hee! I am totally planning to narrow things down by figuring out what I can locate in various libraries, and subsequently how likely I am to reread.

I managed to narrow it down to one book that made me jump up and down - Women in Purple, and had a friend add it to his order.
