Se7en

So you’re sitting around and saying to yourself, "I’ve got $35 burning a hole in my pocket and when I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes."

But what to buy…what to buy.

Well, I just received my copies today so I haven’t really jumped into them, but Amazon has a lovely little set of meditations on the Seven Deadly Sins from Oxford University Press:

Now Oxford and the New York Public Library have brought together seven prominent writers and thinkers—among them Joseph Epstein, Wendy Wasserstein, Francine Prose, and Simon Blackburn–to pen book-length meditations on these deadliest of sins. The result is a marvelous series of books that are thought-provoking, stimulating, and frequently amusing. Illuminating both the sin and the sinner, these attractively jacketed volumes are a must-have collection. It would be a sin not to have them on your shelf.

Or, you could take your hard earned money and buy a copy of Liberal Fascism: Naked Came the Pantload from NRO, personally Cheetoh-stained by Jonah:

Personally autographed and inscribed copies of Liberal Fascism are available here for only $34.95.

I know it’s a tough call because, on the one hand, there would be the nipple-hardening joy of insisting that Jonah personally sign your copy: It was the best I could do. I am so deeply sorry. – D. Pantload …or it’s no deal.

On the other hand, with the Oxford set you get all seven sins: Pride, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Anger, Gluttony, and Greed… and with Goldberg you only get Sloth.

Quality over quantity, I always say…
