hmpf | THERE ARE SO MANY BOOKS

I know there are many, way more important things I could and should blog about here now (some of them I've blogged about here: http://scrapbox-amnesty.tumblr.com), but for the past several weeks, emotionally speaking I've mostly been caught up in a violent urge to read, read, read - preferably sf and fantasy, of which two genres there seem to be so, so many books that I haven't read yet and that sound potentially brilliant. Unfortunately I'm still not in a situation where buying countless numbers of books is a good idea, neither space-wise nor in terms of money. So instead I'm putting lots and lots of of stuff on my amazon wishlist.

I love books so much. I love genre so much. I want to buy and read a lot more books, really... I did actually buy one recently - Among Others by Jo Walton, and got another, Against a Dark Background by Iain M. Banks via tauschticket, which is a book exchange platform here in Germany. But there's so much more I still want to read... Can't someone please pay me to read?

Speaking of Iain M. Banks: he died on Sunday. :-(
