There's nothing to make you realize that you should stop buying books and start making the way through your backlog like buying a new paperback and getting home only to realize that you already have an unread cloth edition of the same book that you bought at the same store not even a year ago.

Nothing's Shocking rocks.

What was this book that looked so good you wanted it twice?

Heck yeah it does! That's one of those albums that you almost WANT to buy twice.

The book was Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem. I read his Motherless Brooklyn a couple of years ago and enjoyed it, so when I saw his next one, I picked it up. TWICE. In my defense, they changed the cover design for the paperback, so I didn't recognize it. :)
