Damn you, Borders

Last week I received a lovely 40% off coupon from Borders. Normally, these coupons show up when I'm broke (to be read: most of the month), but (un)fortunately I got paid not too long ago, so I took that little coupon into the store last night. With a little spending money in the bank, the temptation of that coupon was just too strong, and I drove straight from church to the bookstore. I wasn't really sure what I would buy, so I wandered around for a bit, which was a great way to end a busy weekend. I really love just being in bookstores/libraries. They make me feel so relaxed and comfortable. During my purusal, I remembered Donald Miller's new book, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years", which I am now the proud owner of! We've had it here at the store, but it was a bit out of my price range as it's a hardcover, and I don't really care for those anyway. So I'd put off buying it, which was hard, because I really wanted it. With the coupon, however, I got it for just over eleven dollars, which I thought was pretty reasonable, and I suppose I'll just have to learn to suffer through the hardcover.

The subtitle ("What I learned while editing my life"), makes me really excited. That concept is so intriguing to me. Combine that with the fact that Miller is one of my favorite modern writers, and I'm already sure this book is going to go on my "recommended" list.

Since I now own this book, however, it's going to have to take a back seat to "Life of Pi" because that one's on loan from the library. After I finished "Wuthering Heights" I grabbed a Harry Potter book to hold me over until I found something else. I got pretty far into it, so I'd rather finish it than just put it back on the shelf. I'm hoping to finish that up quickly, though, cuz I've got literary work to do!
