There ought to be more of us

Many people indulge in retail therapy but mine takes a unique form. When I feel sad, I buy books. And when I feel happy... I also buy books. ("Damn, that conversation was upsetting, I guess I better hie me to a bookstore and fetch home treasure to comfort me!" "Yay, that's so cool, what I need to celebrate is to buy some books!")

If more people were like me, the publishing industry would be well on its way to recovery.

Now if only I could find time to read all the books that I buy....

Buying a book is a mitzvah. Reading a book is a mitzvah. Two mitzvahs for the purchase of one!

Some days I think of it as going to the shelter and adopting homeless books.
