My shelves cannot contain your cheap and weary volumes From every subject to every pen and age I find affordable each tome And yet they're adding up I have not time to read all that I've bought Nor can my bank account keep up the pace of my unhinged desire O cruel AbeBooks You tantalize me with another ancient text I've yet to own So much better to touch and feel the pages than to read the digital.
Seriously though, I’m like a crackhead here. I have seemingly no self-control when I see a book I want for free shipping and under five bucks. Thing is, do that ten times in a month, and things add up.
Is there a bibliophile anonymous I can sign up for?
Never mind, I think I’ll go learn carpentry and build new shelf space. Maybe there’s a book on that.
