16. I've bought a couple of new books lately

...ordered them online. I see they are now being printed in China. They probably ship the raw logs to China from here so they can pulp them, make paper, add a few extra toxins to the mix, print the books, then ship them back. Its insane. How can it be any cheaper to do that?

Its rare that I buy new and I think from now on I'll buy books locally after I check where they're made. That said, books are the best gift anyhow.
