Oh, I'm sorry, that's not the real title. The real title is 101 Things To Buy Before You Die, by Charlotte Williamson and Maggie Davis. The blatant materialist, consumerist title is what caught my eye. He who dies with the most toys wins. Can't live without these things — creating needs that don't really exist. Such as a four-in-one oven that looks like something out of a morgue (so you can "bake, roast, toast, and keep plates warm" — I know I run into that situation at least once a month). I'm not sure whether it's good or bad that reading this makes me feel a bit more comfortable about my own stewardship.
