I resemble that remark

I don't want anyone writing in to point out that I spend too much money on books, many of which I will never read. I know that already. I certainly intend to read all of them, more or less. My intentions are good. Anyway, it's my money. And I'll bet you do it too.

-Nick Hornby, The Polysyllabic Spree "A hilarious and true account of one man's struggle with the monthly tide of the books he's bought and the books he's been meaning to read"

(which I picked up when I went to B&N to find a copy of Clean House Clean Planet, which they didn't have, and instead came out with The Polysyllabic Spree, The Time Traveler's Wife, and Haunted. And, uh, my copies of Never Let Me Go and Fleshmarket Alley should be here by Tuesday. Addict? Me? I can quit whenever I want, I've done it hundreds of times.)

Right, then. Bed.

books, book addiction
