Same here. I read a lot. And I can't stand to wait at the library for a book to become available I want to read it again. So I buy a lot of books, either in stores or on-line. Nearly every gift I buy for my family is a book, even for my 2 years old nephew.

My other weakness is chocolate. I once went into a store to buy a gift for a friend and ended up with the gift wrapped along with something like 200 € worth of chocolate just for myself...

Fortunately for my bank account, I do that no more than once or twice a year.
