Eh. I started buying books when I was busted broke. I just ended up keeping them, and never ceasing. I read them to death and bought more as I discovered more.

Eh. I started buying books when I was busted broke. I just ended up keeping them, and never ceasing. I read them to death and bought more as I discovered more. I had wine boxes packed full that I had to haul everywhere. It was worth it. I've just had to pack up my collection again as we're moving out of the city. Happy to do it and I won't be downsizing for the sake of downsizing—ever, if I can help it. I love wandering through and re-reading things I'd put aside for some time. Poetry, in particular, is good for that.
