Cost: a whopping $79 (so many audio books, so little commute time)

So I guess that's a total of exactly $100 for 65 books. But considering a few were very nice hardcovers and (I think) 18 are audio books (most of which are unabridged) I don't think that's too bad at all.

My gods. I'm NEVER going to have time to read everything, am I? *cries like the man from that Twilight Zone episode*
