so me thinks i’m out of a topic?! *EDIT*
pathetic…
wanna know something? i have no self-control… nothing new actually. however…
ever hear of a bibliophile? lets take this word apart shall we? Biblio – book, phile – One that loves or has a strong affinity or preference.
together – one that loves or has a strong affinity for books.
i realised something recently. i am a bibliophile. i love books. at first i thought, na… can’t be. but recently i have doubted myself… (as if i’d actually have a problem with being a bibliophile).
its all about my eccentricities. i like being eccentric. the hats, the canes, the trenchcoats.
and my books. doesn’t matter what it is about. hell, i just got T.S. Eliot’s letters. his complete letters (to friends and what not). very impressive.
its weird too… i just started grabbing books, alot of times because the cover looked interesting.
granted i’ve got some shitty books that way… lol
there are major drawbacks to this however. i now have many many books. more books than i know what to do with… and i want MORE! old books, new books… antique books. books that look cool.
(will continue after getting some food)
*EDIT*
so i finally got some of my books on shelves here at the apartment. i need more shelves. if they weren’t so expensive then it wouldnt’ be such a big deal, but seriously… $60 for a nice bookshelf, i don’t think so.
um… yeah… i also came to the conclusion i have over 600 books as i was trying (note the word trying) to unpack them today. DOH!
i’ve read most of them. i think the only ones i haven’t finished (yes, i start books all the time and don’t finish them… and they all have bookmarks still in them) are some of the ones i got from my grandpa’s stuff. some really good ones i might add.
so… yeah… i have too many books.
thats not even cound my music books?! *eyes look towards music shelf* a rough estimate? i’d stay 180 music books. just a guess though.
anyway… i’m gonna start a new entry.
– noah
There are a lot worse things that you can be than a bibliophile. I’m one myself, and it’s one addiction that won’t kill you, which makes it better than most. Later Eric
