Narf, I do have 1634, but havn't had the chance to read it yet. too many books, not enough time.

Same thing happens to me. My bookstore has 2 levels, Games/comics and books. I splurge on some game books or comics upstairs, then I go downstairs to leave and see a novel I like. While I am buying the novel its a case of "oh, some of those books you ordered arrived". I ordered the books so I have an obligation to get them straight away. I end up with a bag full of books. I still have a book from Last month I havn't got to yet.

Unfortunately, my comic book store bit the dust Last year, and I didn't even know it until after the fact. I hadn't gone in there for awhile. What with the increasing costs of comics, my budget, and my increasting interest in buying dvd's, I just kind of stopped going. Now I have nowhere to buy comics, at least close to where I work. There are quite a few shops in the Tampa area, but until my finances look better, I just will have to wait. But I know what you mean as far as having books and comics waiting for you. I had a whole box devoted to me at my old shop, as my eyes were bigger than my wallet and I was getting behind in my collecting. One reason I had to quit. But they sold used books and gaming stuff too, and I had to find another used book store just for the books. That's where I'm currently trying to get the books for the Turtledove series, the Honor Harrington books, and a few others. The owner isn't interested in comics or game books, so I still have to look elsewhere for those.
