Just been into London for an exhibition... Came home with 3 print books (2 catalogues and another book). Sigh, where am I going to put them given that the specific bookcase is stuffed full?

If you have enough books, you could use them to build a brickcase...

I have severely downsized the number of physical books that I own. I keep ones that have sentimental value.

Last physical book that I've ordered was Waugh Abroad: The Collected Travel Writing. It cost me 50€, half of that on shipping. I've a minor hoarding problem, stemming from my cousins tardiness in returning my books. When I buy a book, it's very rarely leaving the house. I even have a hard time parting with books that I've never finished. Ebooks have been a perfect remedy to this problem. I was reading them when it was not even possible to buy them. I don't put much emphasis on the medium I read on. Sometimes it's great to smell the book, sometime it's great to hold a light device instead of a hefty tome, then again, I do love hefty tomes as well. Last edited by jackm8; 07-23-2024 at 08:33 PM. |

i have been buying too many physical books lately. It’s all the youtube and til tok videos and all their pretty books. All I do is admire them on the shelf but read the ebooks. Must stop buying paper books!
