Amazon should ban me like Harrah's casinos ban gambling addicts...

Seriously.

I just ordered:

Disciplined Minds: A Critical Look at Salaried Professionals and the Soul-Battering System That Shapes Their Lives

That's Grad School Prep....Yikes!

And

Parecon: Life After Capitalism

Somebody stop me! :crazy:

1. You mean to tell me that you were ABLE to get on Amazon.com today?

:wow:

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Oui, ordered and confirmed about 1/2 hour ago...

Special access for addicts... :P

3. Amazon is the most convenient

So many other places don't accept money order from overseas places, unlike Amazon. Well, I don't want to sound too gushing. :P But yes, also that the current exchange rate is favourable in our case, now is a prime time to shop. :D Yesterday I bought a book in which artists of varying styles are given license to create a story about whatever they want. There's such an attractive range on offer.

Aside from that, I'm looking at: a book for beginning astronomers, a book about two babies who are abandoned in a coin locker from birth, "the anatomy of dependence" which is a theory as to what makes the Japanese psyche tick (or something like that), and some other things, I'm sure...

The only problem is shipping is a bit of an issue. Shipping is cheaper if you order from Australian stores but that these stores have imported from the States nullifies any compensation. Or something like that.

Oh and Les Mis finally arrived.

4. Apparently, you weren't around when I went into withdrawal this morning.

They were down for over 2 hours (story showed up later on Yahoo about it).

6. Please don't get my started on Amazon.

There's a whole long tale of woe about my christmas present, and trust me, I'm not a happy girl when I know I have kitchen gear coming, and it's late. You, of all people, would understand.
