Hey its only like $1,000,000+.

I really like "quality" books/bindings and such, especially if they have some sort of limited edition type thing. I don't mean the uber-expensive stuff like this, just the various "nicely bound" stuff. Not that i actually HAVE any of them (even if they only cost say $60) always seemed like i could never justify the expense, even on stuff i really really like.

I do spend TONs of time on amazon.com though. Just browsing. I really like the long lists of reviews and suggested reading lists they have there. The web of interconnected subjects, especially the non-fiction stuff is great. I happened upon this and it looked interesting.

As hunhee mentioned above, its fairly well known to some of my friends (seems like a ton of them are into harry potter) that i've not actually read the books or seen the movies, i do find the "unverise" interesting though. I just have so many other things to get read/viewed that this always is a low priority.
