borders upon borders

today, i ordered five books. i didn't mean to order five. i meant to order three. the first three i picked out, cost $35.69 and i meant to pay $25 with the gift card that danny got me for christmas and put the other $10.69 on my card. but i'm retarded and somehow didn't understand how to use a gift card. SO, then i still had a $25 gift card and even though i was devastated at having bought $35 worth of books when i had 25 FREE dollars, i decided the FREE 25 dollars should not go to waste. so then i bought $25 dollars worth of other books.
overall, a good day.
here's what i got:


the virgin suicides by jeffrey euginides






everything is illuminated by jonathon safran foer







diary by chuck palahniuk







the mysteries of pittsburgh by michael chabon







such a pretty girl by laura wiess
