Today I bought a chair because of a book.
A huge tome arrived yesterday morning (at 2:30 in the morning according to track&trace!): THE TIME TRAVELLER'S ALMANAC: The Ultimate Treasury of Time Travel Stories. It's in hardcover and weighs in at 900-odd pages.
It'll be a treat to read, as you'll no doubt agree. Just look at this stonking table of contents. There's a lot of classics, a lot of newer shorts, and essays about time travel science and fashion (the latter by
glvalentine )
With such a wonderful bit of reading material in my hand, I realized that my home was ill equipped for reading it! The book is too big for reading in bed (for fear of getting a mild concussion should I drift off) and my desk is too full of, well, debris of life (as well as computer and speakers). Clearly a new piece of furniture was needed to enjoy this book properly.
Today I took the plunge and bought a good-as-new easy chair from a thrift shop. Had to carry it home though. Now it feels like my arms are floating, but the chair is nice. Now I have a proper place to read and luxuriate.

The Last Reel is a story on the Pseudopod horror fiction podcast, and it is a cracker. It sneaks up on you, much like it does the viewpoint character.
I once sent them a story and got the nicest and most constructive rejection I remember getting. They're good people.
