Yes, I too have to keep an eye on the monthly credit card bill. I have friends who always bitch because their credit cards are maxed out with "important" purchases, and then they get mad at me when I complain about trying to pay for all the schlock I buy at Amazon.
I live in a small town and the nearest bookstore is an hour and a half away, and all they really stock are bestsellers and remainders. I tried to pick up some Cormac McCarthy for a friend's Christmas present and they didn't even have that. They didn't even get the last James Lee Burke novel; told me to wait for the paperback, they'd get that!!!!!! WTF?
