You don’t have to be all Eco about libraries to sympathise.
Not so long ago, if you were eager to fill up on Penguins, or recipes, or history, or a bunch of Haynes manuals, or what a friend was excited about, you bought it.
Your reach always exceeds your grasp, so you end up with a buffer pile to get round to when you have time, or might just need one day.
And who doesn’t want all those friends and connections and memories taking over the wall space?
