Why Is It So Much Fun Buying Stuff Thru The Mail?

The two books I ordered from Amazon.com came the other day.

The Tony Parsons is February's read for the book club I joined.

"The Canning Season" is something I heard an excerpt from on the radio (yes, I occasionally listen to CBC, shut it!) last summer, and I've been wanting to read it ever since, but haven't been able to get it at Chapters.
