Literacy and Longing in L.A. by Jennifer Kaufman and Karen Mack
"I collect new books the way my girlfriends buy designer handbags. Sometimes, I just like to know I have them and actually reading them is beside the point. Not that I don't eventually end up reading them one by one. I do. But the mere act of buying them makes me happy - the world is more promising, more fulfilling. It's hard to explain, but I feel, somehow, more optimistic. The whole act just cheers me up." pg. 15
I couldn't cut it into a two sentences because the whole of it sums up my last week's Musing Monday. It is exactly what i feel!
Book hoarder :D
