A recent survey found that on the average household bookshelf there were at least 80 books the owners had not read. How many do you have? I think I have more than that.
I don't know what the problem is; maybe I just like to look at them. Or as a retired librarian, I like to pretend I have a library. Or is it just greed? There is no way I will ever read them all unless (God forbid) I am bedridden for several years.
Why then do I keep buying books? It is a puzzlement...... Lately I have been buying books I had to read, like books for the book club, or books for Sunday class, or books about Eccelesiastes to help me in my studies. I yearn for a good book just to enjoy reading! Know one?
