Yes, I am one of those people with too many books. I used to keep them all then one summer I realised that they were piled up not only against the walls, but in piles on the floor, and I spent 3 days ruthlessly culling novels, proofs, and those weird coffee table books you buy for a £1 in a charity sale and never even open. I can’t bring myself to part with museum catalogues or history of art books, and weirdly, I can’t bring myself to part with any of the dog-eared textbooks left over from university. Most of them a Old English and Middle English things that were second hand when I bought them, rarely taken down from the shelf, scarcely opened in 25 years but familiar. Having them around is like having company.
