My Obsessions

So I've decided I have a totally addicting personality. I, like most people, have some normal addictions.

• Music - check



• Shoes - check check (One for left, one for right)



• Books - check



• Clothes - check

However, I made the unfortunate realization this morning that my seemingly harmless addiction to books is a little deeper then that. I could already tell you that I had an addiction to buying books seeing as how I've got shelves upon shelves of unread books. Even still, I made a stop at Barnes and Nobles last night and purchased two new books (one on clearance, the other not - but still a good price!) and a soundtrack to a Broadway musical.

But why, may I ask, do I feel the need to carry my new books around with me after I've purchased them?

I can understand carrying the CD with me while I'm still getting used to the order of the songs and need a reference from the case. But why, when I'm already carrying around two other books I'm currently reading, do I feel the need to carry my two new books with me? It just adds to my load and makes my back hurt.

Is it me trying to justify the fact that I just bought two new books and while I've got the best of intentions, they will enevitably end up on a shelf with the rest of my unread books? Or do I seriously think I'll crack them open and start reading them?

Can anyone help me with these little questions???
