Mods‽ I'm in this picture and I don't like it!
Actually that's a lie, I do kinda like it. Dragons are cool, I suppose
@NickEast_IndieWriter I think this is part of the "reading books and buying books are two separate hobbies" thing.
Stares at the teetering stacks. Oh. Well, that explains quite a lot.
In the book collecting circles it is usually referred to as bibliophilia vs. bibliomania.
I like the term but it's there a generally accepted threshold for how many books we need to read over a given time period? I need to know so I can title myself correctly.
I aspire to be a bookdragon!
I don't get wanting to have so many books, it looks cluttered and takes a lot of space. I had one bookcase. I read every book I bought as soon as I bought it. After the bookcase got full, everything went to goodwill. That process repeated several times until I switched to ebooks. That's why I "had" a bookcase, now I have whisky and wine storage. And I have a little over 1300 books in my reader, my pocket, and any other connected device I want to access them from.
