Book reading is a solitary and sedentary pursuit, and those who do so are cautioned that a book should be used as an integral part of a well-rounded life, including a daily regimen of rigorous physical exercise, rewarding relationships, and a sensible low-fat diet. A book should not be used as a substitute or an excuse.(Garrison Keilor from Woebegon Boy - I think)

Doesn’t everyone get giddy at a tip on cheap yet attractive book shelving and then proceed to cook the domestic books to find the cash and spend spare time mentally rearranging the living room furniture to squeeze it in? I thought everyone did. According to this, I need help.
