On buying too many books

If you’re going to the AAR/SBL conference this week, then be sure to check out Dan Reid’s helpful list of 10 things to say to your spouse upon arriving home with all those new books. I like this one:

“Look! I’ve taken care of a lot of our Christmas shopping!” (When he/she tells you that no one on the Christmas list wants those books, you act disappointed and rejected, and absorb them into your library.)

I've tried most of these to no avail. 6 got me handed an itemization of the costs of our children's school clothes once.

Don't forget:
"Those? Oh, I bought those with ...um ... my continuing ed money from the church. Yeah, that's it."
