The Sandman: Endless Nights by Neil Gaiman:
—Oddly enough, I’ve read all 2000+ pages of the Sandman and I don’t own any of them! I also have this weird urge now to collect… comic books. Not manga. Comic books. Not the Superman/Spiderman kind. Eclectic comic books. Unfortunately, when I ran to get it from the bookstore, they were fresh out. GAH. Hopefully, I can catch one on the shelf before September ends.
Also on the to-do book list…
The Bell Jar by Silvia Plath
—Because the summary at the back caught my attention. And I can’t believe I didn’t read anything by hers yet.

Because “read more books” sounded a bit vague.
I decided randomly today that I might just start getting into a habit of collecting books instead. Let’s face it, a full bookcase looks impressive. To me, at least! And once I get into that habit, I could just check this off… Maybe a year of collecting two books a month. Barnes and Noble has this nice shelf of cheap literary classics section, after all and it’s just right across the street from my school! So, every month, I’ll probably get one classic book and one on modern fiction or a history book or graphic novel.
But this is all depending on my budget anyways… I have to start paying for gas soon! URGH.
Books of the month for September?
“Thud” by Terry Pratchett and I’m currently re-reading “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Bronte.
I want to get a copy of “Slapstick” by Kurt Vonnegut and maybe “Les Miserables” by Victor Hugo. :)
