Sarah's Books - Used & Rare

On my mind this New Year's Day, the inimitable Samuel Clemens.  I just finished reading the Autobiography of Mark Twain Volume 1 (p.355):

"In my early manhood, and in middle-life, I used to vex myself with reforms, every now and then.  And I never had occasion to regret these divergencies, for whether the resulting deprivations were long or short, the rewarding pleasure which I got out of the vice when I returned to it, always paid me for all that it cost."

So much for resolutions!  Make them, and break them, lovingly.
