I think of my library as a whole. I know I'll never read it all - because there are probably a lot of books in there I'll never be in the mood to read - trumped by different moods for other books
But I love knowing that there will always be something in there I haven't read as well as old friends I'd like to revisit.
Same goes for my other libraries - music and film
I never smoked and only drank rarely. Abhor gambling
My vice has been collecting these 3 cultural cornerstones and although lately I've turned to travel and photography, I don't regret a penny spent on my 3 loves
The books will be there. Waiting for my retirement :)
