A failing you say? The Shrike Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 10:07:34 PM
I get attached to stuff. It's a personal failing.

You sound Buddhist, there. I admit some Buddhist philosophy has affected me. Removing attachments to the material world. And while the ideas in the books are not material, the books themselves are.
