I collect new books the way my girlfriends buy designer handbags. Sometimes, I just like to know I have them and actually reading them is beside the point. Not that I don't eventually end up reading them one by one. I do. But the mere act of buying them makes me happy - the world is more promising, more fulfilling. It's hard to explain, but I feel, somehow, more optimistic. The whole act just cheers me up.

That is great.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing. I am in desperate need of some new clothes, but I would rather spend my money on books.
Thanks for reading my post at Diamonds.
