I am so weak.
One of the local library branches was recently told by the fire marshal that they had too many books. And this week, as I feared, the library discard store was full of beautiful red- and blue-cloth-covered Everyman editions of classic literature, many hardly read, $20-$40 new, for two dollars each.
I waited three days to give others a chance. And this afternoon I went back to the store - not a one of the books, as far as I could tell, had been bought - and came home with a box full of books. Most I didn't have, some are books I love but had only as ragged paperbacks, a few are books I had but which have been claimed by Great Girl according to some private theory of primogeniture.
So, so glad I didn't sign up for that silly challenge that involved not buying more books.
