Bookaholics Anonymous, Anyone?

Suddenly there seems to be a lot of books around me and I ain't reading any.

I remember the way I use to look out for things to read, books, mags, even shreds of paper which has something new to read. Now lots and lots of books around and no time to read. :-(

Thinking of taking a week's vacation from routine and finishing off them all the stuff I got.

I finally admit that I am an hopeless addict of Landmark. I go there to buy. I go there to check out whether any deals are there. I go there to spend time with my friends. I go there to check whether the deals are still there. I go there to check whether Bangalore and Chennai outlets differ. I have even checked out Andheri Infiniti mall Landmark once. Now I realise all I need is a flimsy excuse to go there. And every time I land up there, some book gets my eye and landmark gets my money. And for all my purchases I am yet to get their membership card, with which atleast I could have gained some consolation deals.:-(

Any ideas to get a grip on my book shopping and maybe my slowing reading, anyone?

Oh yaa! I witnessed your Landmark addiction, to the level trying to pay for others' books :-) I have this rule for buying books, I cannot buy a new one, if I have something unread or unfinished at home. But as for slowing reading, I am with you there! :-( I would appreciate any pointers here too.

I remember you inquiring me if i had checked out for any new arrivals in Landmark when i told about my visit to Forum.... Your favorite hangout place.... I vote for a honorary membership be vested on you.
