I'm very thankful for what I get ($500/yr). Thing is, I tend to spend the whole amount pretty quickly each year (By next week, I will have spent the whole amount for this year already!). So many good books being written and books coming back in print these days!

I am a recovering bibliophile, I now only buy books I will read and reuse, the others, are in a library. I do, however, buy more research materials now - dictionaries, theologies, et al. I just scored Aristotle's s vol. set by Oxford and Thomas Aquinas...these are classics.

Still recovering from the fall off the wagon last week, though.
