Naw, not any more. Any guilt I may have had has since collapsed under the sheer weight of my collection. I now look at myself as a sort of stamp collector who knows he has stamps in his possession he will never be able to post letters with.

I think of my library as a whole. I know I'll never read it all - because there are probably a lot of books in there I'll never be in the mood to read - trumped by different moods for other books

But I love knowing that there will always be something in there I haven't read as well as old friends I'd like to revisit.

Same goes for my other libraries - music and film

I never smoked and only drank rarely. Abhor gambling
My vice has been collecting these 3 cultural cornerstones and although lately I've turned to travel and photography, I don't regret a penny spent on my 3 loves

The books will be there. Waiting for my retirement :)

I too have no regrets over time and money spent on my collection. I had too much fun and am pleased with the results. If I have any regret it's the dwindling amount of storage space I have available. But if I can keep that as my main problem in life I'll be happy.

I've had this book on my mind lately, as well. I definitely want to read it sometime in the near future.

Right now, I'm working on...



And I'm also reading the first Game of Thrones book. I can't wait for the next season to start.

I am 100 pages in, and it is quite close to the movie but with a few extra bits here and there, quite easy to read and very descriptive.

About 200 pages in. Pretty good so far.
