Phew!

"the truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure or their desire for more"

So Many Books! Gabriel Zaid

Thank you Lucy Mangan for alerting me to this enabling wisdom. I shall no longer feel guilty about the growth of my shelf of unread books. A growth which somehow continues unabated despite constant reading. Can I help it if books make me feel safe?

Word! I feel really, really shaky when I don't have a large reserve of books waiting to be read. I don't know what I'm going to do now that the cheap book place has shut down.
