The Challenge

I have decided to give myself a challenge.  I am going to see how many days I can go (I can barely say this.) without buying a book.  I realize I have been buying too many books.  I have been buying books on a whim.  That is not the way I should handle my reading.  I like to research and pick books that I know about.  When I go in the store all Willy Nilly, I get overcome with my passion.  The clearance books always call my name.  Once in awhile I find a good clearance book.  It is just not what I should be doing on a regular basis. 
I am on Day 2.  Let me hear some guesses from you people.  How many days do you think I can go?  Put a challenge out there for me.

I'm giving you 17 days assuming you will not be taking any vacation time which keeps you away from the Big Town where your addiction lies. Good luck - you can do it!

BTW - does that get me to Easter? There's no way you'll be able to not buy books for the kids' Easter baskets.

No. 17 days ends before Easter.
Problem - I bought a book The Kid already owns. I need to exchange it. Does that count?
