Book buying addiction

who has this problem?

I go to book fairs they are cheap and in time you get what you want.

I have a tendency to buy more books than I read myself, at least at first. When I get a new book, I read a good portion of it, get bored, buy another book, but eventually finish the first one I bought, it just takes a while.

Love this website!: http://www.thriftbooks.com/

I have an entire loft with three walls of high shelving...all filled with books.

I love them. They're my favorite thing to buy, and my life's ambition is to write one. 🙂

I'm addicted to buying books. Most of the books on my shelf are still unread. I have every intention of reading them at some point.... I just keep getting distracted by other things.

''I just keep getting distracted by other things.'' hehe gem

and you said you couldnt juggle

I would have this problem if my parents would not have put the rule "one-book-per-two months" its frustrating.

I have a book-buying addiction - I literally have to avoid half-price books, Borders, and Barnes and Noble (all within a mile of my apartment) just so I won't go in and blow half my paycheck. It's kind of sad. I've gotten better by going to the library more, but many of the books I want to read don't stay on the shelves very long...

I live and breed them...

For people always on the move (like me) having BOOKS in general sense is horrible.

My addictions turns to Ebooks and I have a huge collections of it near to 450 GB of books and documents.

If it was physical books it should weigh almost 10 tons!

Sex and books are the only things that turns me on.

^^ 😕 ^^ Um... ok

I hate hate hate clutter but the one exception is my books. At least I stack them neatly. I hope one day to have a home that has a room in it that'll be just for my books. A library with a fireplace and a reading chair *sigh*

i have a used book buying addiction. i think they smell good 😄

Amazon has the cheapest! Ebay is pretty good too 🙂

I 'buy' books with my library card, return them a fortnight or two later. And pay fines, mostly for late books.

I really dislike how books kept in mint condition (high upin bookself, unread) turn yellow like its been sprayed with urine. A waste of money, IMO.
If I buy books, they must live forever, especially if I treat them well.

When they turn yellow or brownish, I feel betrayed.
No, so the library for me, unless it's a book I'll refer to again and again.
Or that its something Id relish havng in my library.

Needless to say, books I buy I read like a bit, because Library books are way more urgent.

I adore books. They're my friends, my comfort. It's a real joy to curl up with a good book and escape. No matter the topic. I scour yard sales, antique shops, ebay, second hand shops, etc. My babies are my older books. The oldest is around 1850 so far. But yes *pleased sigh* books are wonderful. Definitely addicted.
