Well, I'm a certified blbliophile and spend hundreds of dollars a month on books. Literally. My wife keeps giving me hassle about how many books we have in the house.
I can't help it. I absolutely love books. 90% of what I buy are non-fiction (mixed about 75% history, 25% science) and I could never bear to part with them.
The only books I have ever EVER given away were some crappy pulp fiction paperbacks that I inherited (rather than bought). Even then I felt guilty.
I always remember when, as a young innocent child, I asked my mother why she read so much. "Knowledge is its own reward dear" was her response. God bless her! The best gift she ever gave me was a love of books and knowledge.
