I buy 3-5 books a week. I make a weekly trip to Barnes and Noble. Sometimes with a list of recommendations or books that I’ve found on online list. I’ll grab books that look like a good read, seem interesting, or simply because they look really cool and I want them on my shelf. I buy books on eBay and used book stores/thrift shops, etc. My dilemma is I am only reading about 1 a month ( depending on size and complexity, of course, so that’s a rough average) I justify this as my crutch, as I don’t drink or do drugs. Also by telling myself that there may come a day where I won’t be able to afford to buy books, and I’ll be freshly stocked on new reads by then.
Anyone else have this issue? Thoughts?
I buy books, sometimes, that will sit on the shelf for months, even years. One day I would wake up and feel like it’s time to read, and I feel good about it. Reading is so cool. Buying books also helps authors and litterature as whole. So its really just a minor vice if done compulsively and one heck of a hobbit if you tell me
