At least the addictive habit of buying books has been crushed, here- no more heavy luggage! Too bad I end up buying
ebooks at the same rate and with the same obsessive-compulsive rhythm, but:
1. I have to rely on the debit card- no recharge, no shopping;
2. my room is marginally less messy after a summer of reading (and a summer with a lot of sick time means a lot of reading, which would means VOLUME);
3. no more piles of books (up to thirty after a love story with a really cheap used bookstore- 2€ per book!) shaking their finger at not having been read
yet.
In the end:
I can stop when I want. No, wait, that wasn't what I wanted to say, was it?
