I've done that SO many times. I've got so many books it gets hard to remember all the titles I already own. I found the only way to keep from buying dupes any more was to catalogue my books and save the list on my PDA. Then a year or so ago I discovered a really great site called Goodreads. Ever hear of it? ;-) Being able to see my list of books on the 'net on my cellphone makes things SO much easier now.

Xylophones Above Zarundi: A Chaotic Tale of Melody by Geoffrey McSkimming

Can I get away with a cheat so we can move on to the next theme? XYlophones above Zarundi = XYZ? :-)

Sweet! I didn't even notice! Guess the next person starts with X.

Ultra-Violet Catastrophe! Or, The Unexpected Walk with Great-Uncle Magnus Pringle by Margaret Mahy

U & V

and W

The Question of Reality by Milton K. Munitz

Q & R

Memoirs of My Nervous Illness by Daniel Paul Schreber

M & N

Ok, I've done it again, I just can't stop. I brought home 4 more used books. That brings me up to 62 now.

Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide by Eric Meyer

So since the title I chose has C, D, E, F, and G in order, the next person starts with H, right?

Sweet! Well done CD. Feel free to start another A with a new topic.

Looloo, no need to hang your head! Stand up with pride! I don't mean to brag, but look at what I've brought home, so far. 58! Buying, collecting, and reading is fun! Better to be addicted to books than something like cigarettes or alcohol. And books are definately better to collect than something like stamps or shells, right? Ok, now you've got me wondering, who am I trying to make feel better now, me or you? ;-)

We'll give it 24 hours. If no Z appears, then go ahead and jump right to a new theme and A.

I'm making another ruling. Since there has been no X in the last 24 hours, I say we jump straight to Y.

The Yellow Fairy Book by Andrew Lang

Brought home two more used books from the library to bring me up to 58.

Glad to be of service. To be honest, I'm afraid of buying books on Ebay. Online auctions are dangerous for me, I'm like a gambling addict on them, I find it very hard to stop. Buying from the bookstores is bad enough, if I started hitting Ebay, too, then I really would never have any money for food.

The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier (One of my favorite art-themes authors)

A Taste for Red by Lewis Harris

I have made a ruling. Since there has been no Q in the last 24 hours, I say we jump straight to R.

The Red and the Black by Stendhal

Patrik, start with the last one on your list there. Katherine Neville's The Eight is an awesome book.

No more this year? Yeah right! lol. If you believe that I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. :-) Nice deals, by the way.
