I buy too many books. I buy more books than I can read, because I start reading a book, and whilst I read it, I happen to look at something on the net and a book recommendation pops up. I look at it and think “that looks like a book I’d like to read” and whilst I don’t do it for every book recommendation (that would be unsustainable, I would run out of money very quickly).
I’ve bought two books this week, the book before this was bought 10 December. I am actively reading that, and will finish it.
The two books I bought today, one about landscapes is a reference book. I may read it cover to cover, but I am more likely to refer to it. The other is entertainment. It will go on my book pile and I will read it after the current book (I’ve read a previous book by the author, it’s funny and entertaining so I will be reading it – OK, it’s Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell).
Also, I’m running out of space to store my books. My book shelves are a bit rammed.
I just like books!
