I don't think of the books in my library as a "to be read" pile. Instead, I think of them as my wine cellar. I collect books to be read at the right time, in the right place, and in the right mood.
The narrator in this video clip, Raymond Russell, tells the story of his bibliomania, how his book collection has grown and changed over the years, which does strike a chord with me. I, too, may have gone from bibliophile to bibliomaniac, and am in danger of becoming a hoarder.
Still, thanks for the video clip. If I'm book-mad, at least I'm not alone!
