So I'm ordering books for my Greco-Roman history class. I finish ordering the text books, and then have to order the books about classic sources, in this case, Suetonius, Herodotus, and Thucydides. When I went to order the classics, all these little links appeared saying "People who liked this also liked this:" and kept linking me to more and more cheap books by the classic historians. And they are all bundled into neat little packages, buy two and get them both for half off!
10 minutes later, my original $150 book bill is at $225, and I don't even NEED half the books on there. It was like gambling, which is also why I don't like credit cards, it's so easy to just charge things over the internet.
Doesn't Amazon know that I have no self control when it comes to ancient Greco-Roman literature!?
(Yes, I think they DO know that, and are trying to take all my money)

Haha, that ALWAYS happens to me when I order on Amazon.
Oy, I've spent so much money there.

Shoot! I should have price compared between BN and Amazon, I didn't even think to.
I was lured in by all the shiny pictures of historical texts. Damn my bookworminess!
