Many years ago, I read about a man who filled his house with books, literally. There were narrow passageways between the heaps, and he slept on the top of one heap, just underneath the ceiling. He ended up dying from the fumes off the books while he slept, in that small, enclosed space. Hoarding gone terribly wrong. I suppose ebooks are safer that way, although probably less satisfying to such a one.

E. L. Doctorow's Homer and Langley is a wonderful story of this sort of thing!

I grew up in a hoarding home. Looking in the refrigerator was enough to stop your appetite. Couldn't find a place to sit. But there were books in only one room in the house. Three guesses.

But it's okay to hoard ebooks, right? I just need bigger and bigger SD cards. |

The DSM-V criteria for diagnosing ebook hoarding disorder are: A. Building and maintaining excessively long ebook "wish lists" on OverDrive and ebook commercial vending sites. B. Adding so many folders to Calibre that it constantly crashes. C. Adding ebooks such as the epub version of the IRS tax code to one's ereader "because it was free." D. Reading a dozen or more ebooks simultaneously on multiple devices. E. Persistent difficulty in deciding which ebook to start reading next, that causes significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. (See also Compulsive eReader Acquisition Disorder and Compulsive MobileRead Forum Posting Disorder.) |

Who needs the DSM when you have reality TV? I think TLC by itself catalogues half the pathologies in the DSM.

Am I the only one who keeps reading the headline as "New DRM nears completion?"
