13. Usually just my brain power

May 2012

I don't read a ton of books a year, I think I'm probably around 20 books a year, and I usually keep them/collect them and put them on my bookshelves in my living room.

I do admit I have bought double books, thinking I didn't have it in HC and realizing that yes...in fact I all ready had it in HC.

The hardest thing I have to deal with is my comic books...I have around 500 superman comics, and I have given up buying single issues this month because I cannot remember all the ones I all ready have. I got about 50 comics in April, and I had 14 doubles....sigh, I know I need to get off my lazy ass and put all my comics on Excel...until I do that, I cannot buy back issues of Superman.
