As mentioned, the end of the article says "the more readers know about a liseuse the more they like it". Magic words!

I too have an emotional tie to the books and magazines I shift every time I move, and the boxes and folders of scraps and the random fragments of disintegrating paper notebooks I scrawl in. That emotional tie is closer to a codependent relationship that anything positive though - I'm still in the relationship because I need what I get out of it, but it's making me unhappy.
