Help me spend $27.21 on Amazon.com!

Matterhorn Fan · 03-05-2006, 12:35 PM

I took a 4-cup container of loose change to the Coinstar machine today and now I've got a gift certificate for $27.21 to Amazon.

What should I buy?

MouseWife · 03-05-2006, 12:42 PM

Music or books!!!

Matterhorn Fan · 03-05-2006, 12:47 PM

Gee, that's not very specific!

I think the most difficult thing is that it is ONLY $27. I'm better at spending 50 or 100.

Matterhorn Fan · 03-05-2006, 01:10 PM

Well it doesn't have to come out exact. (But $100 is more than I want to spend right now.)

MouseWife · 03-05-2006, 01:22 PM

Well. Re-thinking...you have a lot of books already, don't you? Although I have been recommended a book called 'Kite Runner'. Can't wait to read that.

Or, as far as movies, have you picked up 'Lady and the Tramp' on DVD? I haven't and I really want to.

Music. Are you a Pearl Jam fan? You can save your $$ until their next cd comes out. Don't think it is too far down the line. Otherwise, I don't think we like the same music. I do like what I've heard from 'She Wants Revenge'. Heard of them? Or the latest 'Strokes'.

Having just passed Mardis Gras, I have been listening to a lot of Louis Armstrong.

And, if you liked the movie 'Jarhead', my son read the book and I am glad he did because after I watched the movie I asked him a lot of questions. So, that might be an interesting read.

I, also, can't wait to read this. I heard the author talking about it on book TV. It sounds really really interesting.

E took my recommendation. (One poster at a time, Chris. Mwahahahaha!) I'll have to get back to you.

tracilicious~I will read this. I have to. I have a friend who lived through quite an ordeal in Iran and I she said that this really hit home for her. I would like to get a feel for what she went through. A little afraid, too, that it may be harsh.

That would have been cool to see the author to make that connection.

Those other books, they sound quite deep.

I recommend that you get Kafka on the Shore and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle together for $26.72
