19. Purchased 4 more of the "Diskworld" series last week, and while we were there...

...also snagged a copy of: "Make Love* (*the Bruce Campbell way)"
out of the discount bin.

20. Amy Sedaris' "I Like You -- Hospitality Under the Influence"

It's sort of a book on how to entertain and has recipes but it also has instructions on proper care and maintenance of the female genitalia. At the very least, I'd recommend looking at it the next time you're in the bookstore. It's wild.

Otherwise, I'm on the waiting list at the library for a new Einstein bio.
