Being an avid reader can, on the one hand, be a very good thing, but on the other it can present some issues when it comes to one thing: moving. Yes, I want to move to NYC and live in a 300 square foot apartment. But no, I do not want to give up all my books. So, what’s a person to do in this situation?
Some would argue that I buy a Kindle (which I’ve already done that, but I still buy regular books); others would suggest I get rid of the books (that’s hard to think about); finally, there would be a few people that would say I should sacrifice my bed for a library (I don’t know about that). Either way, it’s kind of funny that books cause this particular feeling of attachment. I think I had a professor once say that it had to do with the idea of showing off one’s pretension like showing off bowling trophies. Whether this is true or not, I do know that being an avid reader does have its drawbacks.
