Covet 

This admission will probably mark me as the biggest nerd ever in the blogosphere, but I'm really really coveting the Complete Arkangel Shakespeare. All of Shakespeare's plays, unabridged, read by such actors as Sir John Gielgud, Joseph Fiennes, Simon Russell Beale, etc.

Small problem: it costs AUD$520 including shipping. And that's the discounted rate already; the RRP is USD$600 WITHOUT shipping.

I could just go to the State Library and rip, erm, "borrow", the entire set. 15 min x 98 CDs = around 1500 min = holy mother of pearl, like 25 hours. Then again, 25 hours of my time is worth less than $520, for sure.

Such. A. Nerd.
