Good choices. Which I say because I either own copies of many of these or have them on the mental wish list.

These days I try to control my compulsive book buying by limiting myself to what I need for Sunday School. Works pretty well.

Unfortunately DVDs are another mental classification, especially when I'm in the used DVD store. Sigh.

But never mind me. What did the wife think when you came hauling in this pile of books?

Thankfully she gratefully puts up with my addiction.

Woah! A good list, but wow, that's a ton of books! I pretty much stick to books that are absolutely essential at the particular moment (for a class I'm in or a paper I'm writing). I've resigned myself to mostly working with books that I can get to review on my blog. That way, I shouldn't get a book unless I'm really going to read it soon.
