The book fetishists of Blue Sky

 

So having wandered over to Blue sky from twitter I find it littered with a different type of chronic bore.  The kind of person who masturbates over how many books they have.  One of them uploaded this photo as if it were a good idea to hoard books in this manner... I told them they needed to visit the charity shop.  The kindle has been invented and no one can actually read that many books... Particularly when you need a ladder to reach them.  He responded defensively that the books didn't belong to him but "a bookseller friend".  So it isn't even a personal Library.... And I was not impressed.  I don't know about the words in the books but I suspect none of them are on interior design.
