I’ve never understood why writers must literally wall themselves in with books. As if you must be surrounded by knowledge to write with knowledge. I’m surprised they don’t have text etched into their clothes.

I don’t know if it’s about liberals/conservatives, but writers are also readers, and readers naturally collect the works they most admire. I have shelves and shelves of books, including books that I have read in paperback but later purchased in hardback.

Reference material. Or just plain pleasure reading.
And if there were a line of clothes with books printed on them, I'd probably own some of them and wear them. My favorite tie has bookshelves on it.
It is a (gentle) madness - bibliophilia.
