Amazon is the Playground of the Devil

So, I went over to Amazon this week, which is I think I haven't done in many, many months. You see, Amazon is worse than Barnes&Noble, because with B&N, all I need to do is be sure I don't walk out of the building with a book physically on my person. This is a fairly simple thing, as it takes non-negligible effort to pick up a book, and there's ample time between picking up a book and leaving the store for the weight in my hand to remind me what I'm doing. Amazon is much more insidious. Clicking an HTML button is significantly easier than picking up a book, and a eCart has no weight at all. This compounds things, as I can only physically carry so much out of a B&N, but I could pile two or three times that much into a eCart without a second thought. The only thing between me and My Stuff in Amazon is the size of the number under "Total" in checkout, and even that is dreadfully misleading. 'Cause, if I buy enough, I get free shipping. And if I'm *eventually* going to but those other books anyways, I'll be charged less on shipping if I get them all together than in separate orders. See? It's BETTER to buy more at Amazon...

I like to console myself a little by telling myself that since I'm using Louis's mom's link she gets a kick-back from anything I order.

In my trip this week, I bought: ( Stuff. )

I also have a rather large Wishlist, which I build up whenever I'm bored. A lot of it is just stuff that struck my fancy at some moment or another, but looking through it should give insight into some subset of my interests. The trouble with building this list, though, is that I have to go to Amazon to do it. And Amazon is the Playground of the Devil (literary beast what he is).

Anyone have an opinion on The Neverending Story 2? I don't remember liking it, but I'm not known for my memory, and others have said it's not like Other Sequels.
