Letters to the Editor: Why not hoard books? Reading offers endless delights

To the editor: The article by Chris Vognar hit awfully close to home! I have lined too many of the walls in my home with bookcases and filled them with books. When I worked, I would listen to audiobooks during my commute. But I always loved to read a hard book. I can’t resist perusing the book titles and my favorite authors on Amazon or browsing in Barnes & Noble.

I’m trying to cut down on this habit as I have stacks of books ready for me to read. I donate to the library and used book stores to reduce the amount of titles threatening to make my house look like a book store itself, and I highly recommend that approach to fellow collectors.

To the editor: In response to the question, “why do I hoard so many books,” I ask: Why not?
