I pride myself
in being an avid reader. Over the years, I have read so many books which have
given me immense pleasure, knowledge and benefits. However, even here is where
hoarding surfaced. I used to love buying books. It didn’t matter whether I had
time to read them or how many books were still left untouched in my bookcases
(there are still some unread ones to this day!). When I saw a title I liked, I
was resolved to own the book. It was only after I had to chuck away lots of
books when I moved home, and after I realized that there were simply too many
books I had that were never read that I saw that enough was enough. Since then,
I almost only borrowed from the library.
Until I was
given something called Kindle.
e-books could
be an even bigger problem for hoarders than printed ones because they do not
require physical storage space. I still have more books than I can read in my
Kindle, but fortunately, I have developed better restraint now and do not go
over the top. And after reading the article on hoarding that I mentioned a
couple of days ago, I swear to myself that I have to finish reading the few I
have before ordering another one online.
