Wordpress themes? suggestions

So Im currently browsing themes or wordpress right now and I have a few in mind. My project that I'm working on is in a blog format and I was curious if anything had any recommendations for a theme. Another question i'm curious about is while preparing to purchase a theme there was a drop down menu that said "single-domain license", "5 domain license", and "developer license". So i'm assuming if i only pay $49 dollars for the single-domain license i can only use that wordpress theme for only one of my wordpress projects. Probably stupid question but I'm in denial about it. rather not hav to pay 1000 to use it as much as i desire. Any feedback is appreciate!

I would recommend paying for the single-domain. As you probably will not use the same theme over and over again. Choice is yours to make, but think about the purpose of this purchase.

http://themeforest.net/item/x-the-theme/5871901 is like a combo with various themes into 4 main stacks.

In Addition you obtain various extensions and incredible shortcodes.....

Since it's a blog you're looking at, if you want to keep it nice and simple here's the link to a nice looking theme: http://www.wpshoppe.com/shop/book/

I like its clean simplicity and emphasis on text. It also has a GNU Public License which according to a link on the site, means that providing you're not using the theme for commercial purposes, you have a lot of freedom in terms of how you use it. I'm not sure where it stands in terms of plugin support and so on. Might be worth a look.
