I buy plenty of books - 2x to 3x more than I can read - and I had no idea there was such a thing.

My local library had their seasonal used book sale last Thurs - Sat, but I sense that was simply coincidence.



Why do you buy more books than you can read? :)


The most valuable book in the world isn't the Gutenberg Bible or First Folio or signed Principia. It's the one you need at 2 o'clock in the morning but don't have.


Oh, so the answer to my original question is “hoarding”. Got it - fair enough, you do you.
