After a few years of joining the Kindle cult, I am back to my old bibliophile ways of buying more books than I will possibly have time to read. I once read that buying books represents the illusion of buying the time needed to read them. Then, suddenly, that old life ended. And I slowly returned to the pleasure of holding a book, reading a book, and, yes, buying a book. In buying books, I’m feeding the delusion that I will get to them all.
