Last night, or this morning, I was looking at my phone and checking my order history in my Amazon and eBay apps as well as this one page I have open in my browser that’s saved on a current usps tracking. I realized I had just gotten all the packages I had waited for recently, but something was off. I felt like I needed another to arrive. And I came to the realization there hasn’t been more than a few days or week that I didn’t have something pending to show up. Could be a big purchase from Instocktrades, could be one from eBay, maybe smaller, maybe not. Could be something from Amazon... and I buy a ton of shit on Amazon, not all of it is comic book related. Most of it probably isn’t really.
But the rest of my packages, they are definitely comic book related. I buy lots from eBay (collections of collections), and all the other places. And my book shelf is packed right now. I know I need a new one but I don’t really have the space in my place. But my stock just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I have shit that’s been waiting years to be read at this point. There is a word, tsundoku, it’s a need to collect more and more books. How are you with all this?
I also have tons of non-fiction books and some regular prose fiction.
