Books are like an addiction – I reserve them from the library, take them home, and return them when I can’t renew them anymore ;-) I then reserve them again and start the process over again.

i love to read too, in fact, i just downloaded a book from the NYPL and I don’t even live in NY, but I have 3 library cards.

i’m scared to find another author that i love or a book i want to read, my list is already too long. :)

I also once sent my rent check to Allstate. I called Allstate and they assured me the would destroy it (they hadn’t gotten it yet). I then wrote another rent check. Well, Allstate cashed the check and made my 2nd rent check bounce. Later they sent me the refund for overpayment. But, can you imagine how much trouble I would be in for cashing a check made out to someone else? But apparently that’s perfectly ok for a big company. (And I know it was totally my mistake and a scatter-brained thing to do in the first place but still …)

I have a tale of woeful customer service that has affected our credit record for over 10 years. We leased a vehicle from Nissan, but never got a payment booklet. I had the money for the payments on the contract, but couldn’t find out who to pay it to! I called the local dealer, wrote letters to Nissan — all with no result. Finally, they sent a certified letter — with a payment booklet — saying we owed 6 months worth of payments, that they would send it to a collection agency if not paid immediately, would repossess the vehicle, etc. And they reported it to the credit agencies as if we were simply negligent! No amount of further letter writing, copies of my letters to the dealer and to Nissan, etc were to any avail. That blot still stays on our credit record! Needless to say, we wouldn’t consider a Nissan now if it were the only car in the world.

I love Edge! But it’s so expensive to be a US subscriber – cheaper than the newsstand price though. It’s the best gaming magazine – in my opinion.

Magazine addiction! oh yea back when I used to work in a newsagents used to end up buying Custom pc, Pc Gamer, Edge, Marketing Weekly, Business weekly, Edge, and Stuff magazine…easily 40-50£ a month, add in the fact there was a book store next door…I used to spend on average £100 a month on ‘reading’.

The I started Uni and one textbook cost ..£100! so gave it all up!!
