Yes, and I could probably begin my own library by now!

Truly, my books are one of my greatest comforts. Even if I've never read them before, and they are just on my shelf awaiting the day that I pick them up, I love knowing that at any time I can just walk over to a shelf and pick up an old favorite, or start something brand new.

I've also come across some people who collect different publications of the same book. I don't and I'm not really keen on doing that.

I only collect the books that I know I want to read again. I don’t collect different versions of the same book.
