I have all my books sent to my parents' apartment in New York, to save on shipping and customs. That means whenever we come to visit, I get to open a slew of boxes. It's like Christmas in March!

So, today I got prezzies!

Six Degrees of Separation (research for adapting The Alternative into a play)
Love and Human Remains (ditto)
Thinking in Pictures (autism)
The Ride Together (autism)
Our Journey Through (autism)
Hello, Lied the Agent (showbiz)
This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession (science makes you smart!)
Twilight of the Mammoths (ditto)
The Secret Language of the Renaissance (art is sexy!)
Lud in the Mist (Neil said to get it)
Micro Nations (um ... there could be something in there ... couldn't there?)
Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die (did I even order this?)
Making Comics, by Scott McCloud
100 Bullshit Jobs and How to Get Them (how can you not love the title?)
Absolute Sandman vol. 1 (research for ... oh, who am I kidding?)
Watchmen (because I didn't get it the first time)

These oughta hold me for, I dunno, 2 weeks?

I'm jealous! As one friend so aptly put it, books are my crack cocaine.

You could just order from Indigo.ca instead of Amazon.com. Or even Powells.com, which I love because you can find used, hard to find and out of print books. If you spend $50 US they ship by media mail for free and they have a gst account with the Canadian government so no customs problems, they just want your 6%.
