Go six months without buying any new books

"Reading and Writing" item number nine is to go six months without buying any new books.

I DID IT. 05 March-05 September without purchasing a single book. I WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN. EVER. It was absolute hell, going so long without getting any new books. But I'm glad I did it. I set this goal because my reading list was enormous and growing. I kept acquiring books faster than I could read them. I figured if I went six months without getting anything new, I'd be able to shrink the reading list. It definitely helped a little. But getting new books makes me happy. I'm seriously never going that long without a new book again.
