"I became so listless that my mother thought it only polite to regard me as ill."

[carnilia]

When [my parents] moved to Sutton we by no means lived in poverty. We lived in debt. It looks better, and keeping up with the Joneses was a full-time job with my mother and father. It was not until many years later when I lived alone that I realized how much cheaper it was to drag the Joneses down to my level.

So I have this Barnes & Noble gift card from last Christmas and I'm pretty sure it's about to expire, but I can't think of any books to get.

Any recommendations for things you've loved lately? No Harry Potter! :P

kisses!
