Jorg's Addiction!

capitol-hill-books-shelves-of-books-washington-dcI’m going to talk very openly about something very personal here. This will be the first time I tell anybody about my addiction. With my coming out story I hope that somebody will be able to help me with my problem.

Okay, here we go. I’m addicted to books! I just can’t stop reading them and buying them. It’s probably the equivalent of women going shopping for some new clothes and kids running around a candy story.

My family is now abandoning visits to cities which have large bookstores, because it will take hours to get me out of the bookstore once I get in. My new book closets are already filled and I need some new ones.

And still my hunger for more books is very much alive! At the moment I’m reading around 1000 pages a week and it’s going faster and faster. Where will it stop? The dosage is so high already and it’s just a matter of time that I will OD on information overload.

What to do, what to do? Who can help? Or give me an extra shot of books…

    Hi Jorg,

    Why would you want to keep all those books?

    Eric.

    Reference guides! All are non-fictionals, so I take them out of the shelves when I want to re-read some interesting stuff. Like a freediving manual ;)
