One of iGoogle's quotes of the day pretty much sums up my attitude toward books:
"Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?"
-Henry Ward Beecher
I've gotten better than I used to be, primarily because with all my other hobbies I have to save money where I can: Now, instead of buying every book I want to read, I check most of them out at the library. Having due dates also prevents me from developing stacks and stacks of books I own but don't have time to read.
Even so, every time I'm at the bookstore I have to fight down the urge to buy something.
