Have You Bought Any Books Lately?

I have! I just bought some yesterday: Tuesdays with Morrie, Five People You Meet in Heaven & One More Day, all by Mitch Albom. I should have read Tuesdays with Morrie long time ago but I was always attracted by some other things else. Finally I went in and bought those (which were on my list forever) yesterday. I am starting to read Tuesdays with Morrie and therefore I haven't had any comment yet. There are still some books I plan to buy. What about you? Have you bought any books lately? Or are you planning to buy some in the near future?

Oh actually, it's really inspiring! I think that book is not too in depth, but it states the theory and leaves you thinking. I think if you have a chance, you could borrow it from your friend too, it's not too long and it's really easy to read! I finished it and love it!

It's funny I should come across this discussion at this point in my life. Last week my husband and I found ourselves with a hand full of Borders gift cards, worth a little over $200. We ended up placing a lage order (the book store is a couple of hundred miles away) and upon arriing at the store, we blew the entire $200 in five minutes, on all the books and DVD's we wanted.

I have not bought any books yet this year. The last novel bI bought was by Stephen King, the Dark Tower Series the last part. Books are expensive so I try to read books from the library or buy it on second hand stores. I love Science Fiction and non fiction novel but sometimes I read what's is available on hand. I heard there are some online books available that can be downloaded, but so far I have not found something nice that work.

I haven't read any of Stephen King's books but I am sure it's quite good (at least I heard ).

Yes, sometimes I will buy books. Last night I bought several books for my child via the net. Usually I will buy books from Amazon as it's cheaper and the delivery charge is free. I love China

Hello wondericequeen, I have not been to any bookstores since the beginning of the year. Means that, I don't even buy a single new book. But, I started to subscribe for a few women magazines monthly. I do have many at home that I need to finish reading *smiles* Maybe when time permits, I will start to read novel again.
