I didn't post a lot in February. It's not personal, and I'm not apologizing, because this is the Internet, but I will try to make more of an effort in March. Also, this month "Talk of the Town," my WEBR radio segment, is expected to make a Glorious Return, so you'll probably be hearing stuff about that. (Don't look so excited!)

I gave up on it, too - The Strand is having a half-off sale on Kurt Vonnegut, and I couldn't resist the urge to stock up. This ended my eight-week book-buying drought - perhaps the longest of my lifetime.
Eight weeks?! Well done, Mr. Garrett.
It wasn't easy, but I added up all of the books in my apartment I own but haven't yet read - more than 50 - and decided I could afford to take a break from buying books for a little while!
Oh, I definitely have more than 50. I could do that, I think. (Do books I already pre-ordered from Amazon count against me? Shoot.)
