Step One?
I've cut back on the amount of money I've been spending on books lately. I can't recall what was the last book I bought at Chapters was, and there haven't been any $100+ shopping sprees there in years. Yet my shelves keep filling and filling. The list of books I own creeps upwards faster than the list of books I've read, and I don't think I can re-arrange my CDs again so that it gives me anymore shelf space.
It's not just the list of books I own that keeps getting bigger and bigger. I can't recall when was the last time that the list of books I'm actively searching for (as opposed to "those authors whom I always look for works by") actually went down in size. At the moment, it is undoubtedly the single largest record on my Palm.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: Hello. My name is Andrew, and I have a book collecting problem.
