But I didn't mean to say you specifically only want to buy books for the fun of it (which also would be fine anyway). I just see the "buy more books" sentiment everywhere and wanted to offer a general counterpoint, that's all!

Yeah no, I know, but "book buying and book reading are two different hobbies" or "I have at least 50 unread books at home" sentiments get quirkified A LOT, yk? I just think that e.g. book stores getting mentioned infinitely more than libraries could be tied to bigger conversations in general.

Counterpoint, buying books just for the sake of buying is simply shopping and hyperconsumerism and shouldn't be romanticized. You can never READ too many books? I'm right with you! But HAVE? That's a completely different thing imo.
