There's obsession and then there's obsession. Paying extra to get an autographed copy of your favourite author's latest book? That's a degree of obsession we can all sympathize with, whether it's your method of operation or not. Paying ridiculous amounts of cash to get your hands on your favourite author's
"personally owned" toilet? That's a whole new kettle of fish (so to speak). I particularly love the part where “It will come to you uncleaned.” Now that's dedication, although I can't say it's a particularly healthy one.
