I tend to use the wish list to just store stuff I think is interesting and might buy later so my selection is pretty varied. But, I have to share this story. I was corresponding with this guy I met through Nerve personals. When we met, he confessed that he had looked up my wish list on Amazon. I found that pretty creepy. It had never occurred to me to scope someone out that way. I found it particularly disturbing since I had just added the book “A Round Heeled Woman”, which is the true story of a woman who decides to just go for it and have a lot of sex with guys she meets through the personals. :eek: Anyway, I guess I hadn’t really considered how much infomation is out there and how much a person’s wish list reveals about them… ---

I don’t actually have an Amazon wish list, but if i did there’s one book that would head the list: _The Complete Far Side: 1980-1994_, by Gary Larson. ---

> [@DeadlyAccurate](#): > > I just added that Bruce Campbell book. I’d never heard of it, and it sounds terrific. It’s pretty good actually. 😃 As for my wish list, I think I have the largest out of the people posted so far. I have 340 items (mainly books and DVD’s, a few other items), which translates to 14 pages of stuff I must get sometime in the future. \*In the ‘wish list’ search section, just type in “Jesse Combs” + “Fairfax” and it should bring up my wishlist filled with the staggering amount of crap that I wish I owned… 🙂 \*I don’t think that’s too much personal information, but if the mods do, please edit it. 😉 ---

I use it as a mostly personal repository. for things I intend to buy closer to their release date, or other things of that nature. Thus, it only has a few anime titles in it, and a game that I’m waiting to buy until more places have it (allowing me to then comparison shop better). This Christmas though, I might actually create a public version. Brian ---

My Amazon wish list isn’t really a just for wishes. I put books on it that others recommend when I am online. It has books that I would like to have as well as books that I haven’t read yet but would like to read so don’t know if I really want to add them to my personal library or not. I have another written wish list of books that I haven’t added to Amazon yet, because it would be embarrassingly long. :o So some of these I want to read not necessarily own. A few of them I have read and want to own. Even fewer I haven’t read and already know I want to own. Union Street - Pat Barker A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson In a Sunburned Country - Bill Bryson The Memoirs of Cleopatra: A Novel - Margaret George The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers : A Novel-Margaret George The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, Book 1) - Philip Pullman Glimpses into the Life and Heart of Marjorie Pay Hinckley - Virginia H.

Nothing’s on my list - I print out descriptions on paper. The reason: my wife has now twice received books from Amazon that were on her wish list, without her ordering them - at least, so she says. Maybe they figure people are not likely to return items they already said they wished they had. Or maybe there’s some way of ordering wish list items that is so easy one can do it by accident. Either way, count me out. ---

I use my wish list to keep track of the books that catch my interest because of this place. I carry it with me for library runs and jaunts into the used book stores. Every so often I prune it down and print it out, and then another " Whatcha reading thread" comes along and thickens it up. Thanks everyone. ---
