Books.

Why is it that when I go to Borders to redeem a $15 gift certificate, I end up spending $60?

I picked up two books by James Tiptree, Jr. whose work I've been keeping an eye out for a while. I was floored by some of her Nebula-winning short fiction, but couldn't find her work in stores. I also picked up volume ten of The New York Times Tough Crossword Puzzles, since I'm just about through with volume nine. Finally, I got a copy of the AP Stylebook because I'm a great big writing snob and didn't want to fall behind [livejournal.com profile] fauxpas.

Ooooh! I love AP style. Except for their disdain for serial commas. I love serial commas.
