Too Many Books? HA! Not likely.

maderrFrom my beloved Gomes I have acquired Brokeback Mountain and How Like An Angel.
From my parents' house I ganked the Otherland series by Tad Williams (the books are beasts in size - about 800 pages or so each if tha'ts the sort of thing you find daunting but even if you do the books are fucking awesome. They KICK. ASS. So much love for this series).
And I tried to use a gift card the other day on amazon and somehow...I guess I accidently did the one-click shopping though I'd swear I hadn't? Anyway, now own The Blood of Kings by John Michael Curlovich, Firelands by Michael Jenson and (because it just sounds hilarious) Fingering the Family Jewels by Greg Lilly. All of which are slash, and all of which seem either interesting or amusing. As I bought three, at least one of them had better turn out to be stellar. We shall see.
If I can figure out how to use my giftcard online (it's an american express giftcard) then I want to buy Epistemology of the Closet and (I just know I'm going to catch hell for this) The 120 Days of Sodom and Other Writings by the Marquis de Sade et al.
Sammie geeks over the reference section. I geek over everything that will get me dismissed from polite company. If I could go bak to school for a degree in Gender and Sexuality? So totally would. But I don't want another BA and I doubt I can go to MA with BAs in East Asian Studies and History. Alas.
Speaking of geekdom (because weren't we) I told my boss I was going to a New Year's party at a friend's house to hang with "fellow geeks" since that seemed easier than explaining the monkey list et al. and she said "did you say fellow geeks? why would you say that?" like it was a horrible horrible thing to call myself a geek.
Heh. My coworkers really don't know me at all.
Whee! Books!
