I've decided to study eastern religions, so:

Lao Tzu - Tao te Ching, rendered into English by Ursula K. Le Guin
Alan Watts - The Way of Zen
Pema Chodrön - The Places That Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times
Robert M. Pirsig - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values

And various political/miscellaneous stuff that caught my eye in the store:

Joesph E. Stiglitz et al. - The Stiglitz Report: Reforming the International Monetary and Financial Systems in the Wake of the Global Crisis
John Amato & David Neiwert - Over the Cliff: How Obama's Election Drove the American Right Insane
Cass Sunstein & Richard Thaler - Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness
Janice Erlbaum - Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir

And before that I made an order:

Daniel Suarez - Freedom™
Noam Chomsky - Hopes and Prospects
Noam Chomsky - Making the Future: The Unipolar Imperial Moment

Employee discount week is this week so I've been catching up on a lot of purchases that caught my eye in the past several months. Lately I usually haven't been buying many books due to the size of my backlog; in fact I think I had only bought about four books in the six months prior to this week.

Asunder - Works Will Come Undone LP

I'd really love to track down a copy of A Clarion Call on vinyl but it's been out of print for years so I don't have much hope. I'm also going to buy Panopticon's self-titled album after I decide whether to spend $13 extra for the t-shirt. I almost never wear t-shirts, but then again this is one of my favourite bands so I'd probably wear said shirt a lot more often than I wear most of my other t-shirts. I'll probably end up springing for the t-shirt, especially since he's apparently only making like twenty of this design.

It's pretty cool. I need to get more books for it, but I've been reading Alice in Wonderland on it and it's about as good as reading a real book (the only problem is that its OCR software for interpreting PDFs isn't perfect so there are occasional typos, but nothing that makes the book illegible). It'll really come into its use when I sideload all the PDFs and other e-book files I've downloaded onto it. I can almost never be bothered reading excessively long documents on my computer (although I did read The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest on my computer because I was too impatient to wait for the US release), but the nook's screen is awesomely legible and doesn't give me eye strain at all.

Of course I have too many unread physical books too so I haven't been spending as much time with it as I probably should. Also, they dropped to $199 about four days after I got mine, but as mentioned I did get a $50 gift card with mine so basically I only paid $10 extra.
