From this weeks BTT: Gluttony
(Mariel suggested this week’s question)

Book Gluttony! Are your eyes bigger than your book belly?

Pardon me? My apologies, it’s really difficult trying to hear others from behind this wall of books. Shelves? Full at the moment. I was looking into getting another bookcase, but decided on getting a consultation from a contractor regarding knocking out a wall in the bedroom and turning my walk-in closet into a library. My family on the other hand are consulting their own expert who apparently has a Ph.D. and asks a lot of silly questions about my childhood.

Do you have a habit of buying up books far quicker than you could possibly read them?

It’s not a habit; it’s a lifestyle choice.

Have you had to curb your book buying habits until you can catch up with yourself?

Curb? As in cut myself off? As in I’d rather gouge out both eyes and cut off my right arm than ever entertain such a notion. Have never given it a thought. Ever.

Or are you a controlled buyer, only purchasing books when you have run out of things to read?

Please re-read the answers to the previous questions and then think hard about asking me that question again.

[sound of crickets lightly chirping]

Yes. I thought so.

What about you? Are your eyes bigger than your book belly?
