I have a large library by most normal standards

This (with a few judicious alterations) could be me in about 25 years (if I’m not killed before then by a collapsing shelf). Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Books are much more than container vessels for ideas. They are very nearly living things, or at least are more than the sum of their parts.

I do try to resist, but that just means I don't buy as many as I want to. I also live in an apartment, and let's just say that I'm very creative in finding new ways to stick more books into a limited space. Unfortunately, as a result of frequent restuffing, I've ceased to have much of a pretense of a method to the madness.

(Luckily, I'm okay with CDs being stored away--everything is uploaded electronically and therefore there's not much of a need to find anything.)
