My guilty pleasure

Well... I have to recognize that I have a Guilty pleasure for buy books.

 I always was very nearby to the read, my parents bought me a lot of books in my childhold and I generated an habit for it. Since that I started my major (apart of the secundary school), I haven't been in conditions for request to my parents buy me more books, now that they had paid a part of my studies. With the time I had forget to the practice of read until after my accident, now that my daily routine changed so much that I didn't have idea to what make with my free time... and my money (the maintenance of a trumpet is pricey).

Normally I had buy books at the time to travel to my city after my classes in two places: the first one is San Diego street in Santiago Centro (in Special for best Sellers), the second one is a store named "Green libros" located in Patronato, it's special because they are specialist in sell old books. Always that I go to this store I find jewels, like an autograph copy of the first version of "La casa de los espiritus" by Isabel Allende (and very cheap!) or an old edition of the Pedro Prado's novel "Alsino" with a magazine of "the goup of the X" inside, one of principal cultural circles of Santiago in the 20s years.

In general this practice doesn't hurts me, but in this moment, without work and without ways to work in my area its not good for my pocket. For this I try to buy only in a good opportunity, like in this last month, that I bought 2 new books of a Stephen King's saga "The Dark Tower" for 5000 pesos (I'm lucky).

I don't have plans for leave it because the literature is so important in my life. However, I want to regulate the frequency of shopping.
