The thread that has a vote on how many books you own, prompted me to ask why DO we like to collect so many books?
One of the posts said that they buy 10 books a month! I know you can't be reading all of them. So there must be something deeper.
For me, I like older used books the best. I don't really care for many of today's books that contain graphic sex, violence and vulgar language. I love going into a used bookstore and perusing the hardback books. What is it about that? Does seeing a shelf full of different sizes and colors of books have some asthetic appeal? I read some of the posts that say they have whole lofts full of books. I would like that too, but I don't know exactly why.
Awaiting your insights......
