On bookophilia

"Sensible that I labour grievously under the malady of Bibliomanie, I submit to the rule of buying only at reasonable prices, as to a regimen necessary in that disease." - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Lucy Paradise (1789)

"I cannot live without books" - Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams (1815)

I can understand the sentiment.
