The Chronic Consumer

I took several armfuls of books out to the public library yesterday for their annual Open Donation day. This has left me with lots of empty space on my bookshelves, so I’ve decided to make a list of titles that I’d like to purchase in the coming weeks and months. I don’t really know anything about these books, but they’ve been talked about and/or recommended by friends, critics, etc. and I want to check them out!

1. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski
2. The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
3. When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris
4. Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea by Chelsea Handler
5. The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression by Amity Shales
6. Divine Justice by David Baldacci
7. Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back by Josh Hamilton
8. Extreme Measures by Vince Flynn

I think working through this list (as well as the stack of books already loaded into my Kindle) ought to keep me VERY busy for the next few months!
