Cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity. So haunting..

I have gone book ordering crazy and I need to put it to a halt.

In the past 2 weeks I have ordered:

- Island at the End of the World: The Turbulent History of Easter Island by Steven Roger Fischer
- Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond
- Evolution: The First Four Billion Years by Edward O. Wilson (Foreword), Michael Ruse (Editor), Joseph Travis.
-Living Without God by Ron Aronson
-Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity by Bruce Bagemihl

I have already bought, but not yet finished:

-Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection by John T. Cacioppo and William Patrick.
-Titanic's Last Secrets by Brad Matsen

It doesn't help me financially that I only refuse to buy books in hardcover form.
I am going to have to read Living Without God first because there is a book signing and reading at Barnes & Noble in 2 weeks. But bottom line, no more books until I finish one and then can reward myself with a new one. I have this ridiculous fear that if I don't get the book right then I'll forget about it, and thus I will never will read it. For a neurotic person like myself, that formualtes into a pretty formidable emotion.


I am excited about getting my hands on Bruce Bagemhil's book though. Here is a little preview of it:
