"Sometimes I think I have a slight problem. Then I remember most of my friends are also readingly obsessed. It's a struggle for our kind to send flowers on Valentine's Day instead of a book. We think all librarians are hot. When we read one of those newspaper articles about some mad old coot found dead in his apartment, crushed by thousands of books, we think to ourselves, How romantic." Matt Groening in the intro to The Best Nonrequired Reading
