I am a serious bibliophile. I will collect tons and tons of books. As soon as an author comes out with a book, I have my credit card waiting to order or even pre-order.
This is a serious problem for me. I have over 300 books in my 'to be read' pile, not to mention how many I have already read. I think I have over 2,000 books, yet I continue to buy more and more. I can't help myself. Sometimes I even buy the same book twice if the cover is different or if there is a re-print. It's a compulsion.
The sad part is that I don't re-sell or trade these books. They are just there sitting and collecting dust. What's the matter with me? I ask myself what is missing in my life why I feel compelled to buy so many books, but the only answer I can think of is more books. (you see the irony ).
Any suggestions about this 'problem'? I need some serious help. My house looks like a library.
