Dan Goes Shopping

Sometimes when the world starts to feel too much for me, I find myself in a bookstore. These are known as Danger Days. The only real danger is to my bank account. Although, I suppose there is always the possibility I could spill the giant pile of books I am lugging around the store on you thereby crushing you beyond recognition if you cross my path on such a day. So beware! Beware!

I've been pretty down lately, real life pressing too close, making my anxiety and depression way worse than average. As such, in no particular order here is a sampling of some of the books I've purchased over the last few weeks.
