If I enjoy it I'll buy it, if not, well, no money wasted. By the way, I enjoyed Magic Mountain. Very descriptive and the plot was superb. I tend to do that when im just browsing, but sometimes i get such a rush from buying books that i start thinking like a wild child. "I WANT THIS AND THIS AND OH NICE COVER THIS TOO!" Oh and i've noticed that a lot of people on this site enjoyed the book. Someone should whisk it off my bookshelf.

It just seems... blahhh. I mean if i get bored enough i could bring myself to read it, but i figure it's better to just get rid of.

RubberTrees Posted at 8:22 pm on Aug. 29, 2008 I know what you mean. I must have at least 50 books in my room that I brought but never read. I have no way of getting rid of them either.
