The other day, I went to the library to just drop off two books I'd picked up. While circling the bookshelves, I saw the librarian drop two books with the "not permanent acquisition" tags onto the "newly acquired" table. The tag indicates that the book is a paperback, and will be shredded when it gets too tatty to be reshelved.

The two books were Iain Banks's Surface Detail and Gary Shteyngart's Super Sad True Love Story. Add that on top of my recent buying of the entire Jim Hines's Princesses series, three books from Haikasoru, and James Salter's A Sport and and Pasttime, and I suddenly feel overwhelmed. But there was no way I was leaving that library without the Shteyngart and Banks.

But I'm through the first two Princess books, as well as one Haikasoru, so I'll probably get through all this by the end of the month.

It's a good thing I don't want TV.
