Why can't I be addicted to saving

After spending a 95-peso Mcdo Meal, I'd have to say that I am broke. Nevertheless, I can still live.

I am having a hard time picking a new book. Can you guys help me with this? I'm choosing between Junot Diaz's Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Adeline Yen Mah's CC and the Secret Dragon Society, Young's The Shack,Murakami's (One of my faves) Blind Willow Sleeping Woman, or Paulo Coelho's(One of my faves too) Witch of Portobello.

Here are some points why I have been so confused on what to choose:


Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

-newly released book (at least latest than the others)
-pulitzer prize book
-nice back description/reviews
-probably it has some new lessons to learn
-new kind of book to me (since I always read from my fave authors)
-affordable

Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society

-affordable
-limited stocks
-entertaining
-haven't read from A.Y.M's books yet
-quite interesting (from the description on the book's backpage), I think

The Shack

-newly released book
-have heard that it has had a life-impact on persons
-spiritually-related book (one of the things I love)
-might be useful to my life
-- not affordable

Blind Willow Sleeping Woman

-have hoped ever since that I'd really have this book
-written by my favorite author

Witch of Portobello

-nice frontcover
-affordable
-written by my favorite author
-has so many lessons



The thing that I am thinking now is that the books are not going to run.
Especially books from big-time writers, from my favorite writers~ thus, publishers are always ready to reproduce.
Now I really have to choose wisely.
And I haven't much high funds >.<




Please do tell me if you've already read some of my potential pasttimes and I'm begging you to give me a hint on what to read :D


P.S.

As I have been visiting the bookstore regularly, I am now almost done with Diary of a Wimpy Kid :Rodrick Rules. Haaaa! It has soo entertained me! I don't find the book stupid; but I find myself stupid seeing myself in that book! HAHA! Believe me, if you wanna forget your problems, try reading the book. It'll make you go nuts! (In my situation, I am that laughing-type of person)

P.P.S.
I was kinda frustrated when I saw that Brida already had a mass paperback version.
It was depressing. =(
