Goddess, I Am.

I’ve never been one for frivolous expenses. In fact, I can be quite cheap. Still, there some things in this world that put my self-control to the test, like this:

For the uninitiated, in Book 7 of the Harry Potter series, a very important book figured in the story. JK Rowling actually handmade the damned book. There are only 7 original copies in existence, and one was sold in a Sotheby’s action for a whopping £1,950,000 (that’s pounds sterling, mind you).

Now, as much as I want to shell out almost 2 million quid for a book, I can’t. (Unless, of course, I marry Donald Trump, but I’m not his type. Or invent a cure for eczema.) I can, however, probably, possibly get the mass-produced collector’s edition version.

So the big question is: Do I have it in me to spend $100 on a book that I will probably read three times a year for the rest of my life? I have until the 4th of December to find out.
