books

i have no need for new books. i probably have enough unread books to last me until…well quite a long time.
but i have a problem: my name is pat and i am a bookaholic.

just finished reading “visibility” by boris starling and very enjoyable it was too. so i need to pick up another book and start reading.
do i
a] go to the recently purchased pile?
b] go to the bought it in new york pile?
c] go to a local bookshop and buy a new book?
d] look at the pile of second hand books i have bought?
if you chose c you know what ails me.

but i am happy to say that i resisted in borders – didn’t buy a book. came close, but no c-format paperback. i didn’t buy anything in the hayward gallery bookshop. i looked longingly in the window of blackwells, but resisted.
i am a man of substance. feel my iron will.

oh shit look there is the new jeffrey deaver paperback, only £3.87. tescos once again broke my will down.
today i ended up in the eastside bookshop on brick lane. there i picked up a book on east end history and ordered another book…

so what am i reading?
yup one of those books i got in new york.
