Amen Brother!

"Never mind that, as regular readers of this column will know, I have over the last few months bought several hundred books I haven't yet read. ... [Having a new baby] I didn't know for sure I'd ever be able to go into a bookshop again; and if I never went to a bookshop again, how long were those several hundred books going to last me? Nine or ten years at the most. No, I needed that copy of Prayers for Rain, just to be on the safe side."
