    Yes, I'm a bookworm and a compulsive buyer of books. A week doesn't go by without me buying my share of new books.

    In fact, this is me.



    Difficult to properly assess the number of books on my shelves. Probably something between 3 000 and 4 000...

    I don't have enough space for my books. I've had to rent a storage space for them. In the old days I would buy them then sell them back to a used bookseller as soon as I read them, I almost made a living doing that... or at least I could recoup some of what I spent. Now my apartment is overflowing: tables, chairs, the floor, with stacks of books and journals and papers. My wife hates it but we don't have much of a choice.

    Many litterature, history and art books.

    Some psychological too : I have two books from Freud for example.

    Without forgetting religious and "esoterical" one : about Free-massons, Holy Grail, the Bible etc.

    I can't imagine the kind of money I spent when, having lived in England for a little over a year, I shipped all of the books I bought back to the States... numerous trips to the Post office over a period of a couple months. But I still probably came out ahead, since good books were so cheap in the UK and easy to find (my goodness, the free books I was entitled to at Waterstones and WH Smith! Ridiculous!). We don't really have bookshops in Chicago, especially now since Barnes and Noble closed down.
