So many books, so little time

So tonight I went to a book store. Never a good idea. Actually it's always a good idea. Just not for my wallet. I went for a specific book but decided that book was just a little overwhelming. So while waiting for my mom I started browsing. This is where the trouble starts.
I love information. I collect books even if I don't read them for years I love having them. So when I see something about a topic that intrests me I want to learn as much as I can about it. Such as the Romanovs, the British monarchy from Victorian times and before, and interesting people. So in the biography section(which is right next to the world history section) when I see a book on Charles Dickens and one about Cleopatra and one about a girl who had little relationship with her father then at 81 he hands her a stack of letters he wrote to his parents while he was fighting in WWII my brain says want! My wallet says um...eh what the hell.
Did I get those? Nope. The only one I seriously contemplated was the WWII letter one but decided that it wouldn't be the best idea. So I picked up Ronald Dahl's bio (he wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm curious to see what was going on in that brain of his), a biography of a prision librarian (a profession I contemplated/am contemplating....the librarian part, not the prison part....although.....) and a book explaining what aspects of Harry Potter coinside with real British history. Comparing Hogwarts to British boarding schools. I saw that and got really excited(geek out anyone?) It's just like....I need this. My brain needs this information. I can't wait to read them!

Also, Grimm starts tonight. Can't wait.
