My husband and I are pretty bad, but my daughter is worse. And she collects in more than one language (she can read in 3). Has a framed poster that quotes someone famous that reads, "When I have a little money, I buy a book. When I have more, I buy food."
That was Erasmus. And he actually said "I buy Greek books," which were a bit more scarce at his time.
"I don't mind him going to the bar. It keeps him out of the bookstore."
