    Book addict

    Hello

    My boyfriend has a bit of a weird addiction which concerns me a bit. He is slightly addicted to buying books (which i don't mind as I love reading) but he never has the time to read them he just buys more books. What concerns me is that we might end up living in a place crowded with unread books and nowhere to put them D:
    I realise that this might sound silly but I am genuinely worried about what might happen also because we are not exactly rich as we are both still studying

    Am I just being silly or do I talk to him about it?

    Buy him a Kindle or something similar. Then he can save all his unread books in a more compact and efficient manner.
    Good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from bad decisions.

    If you're not living together then you don't need to deal with this right now. When/if you decided to live together then you need to tackle this subject.
    If he's buying so many books I wonder if a Kindle is the answer - suspect he's got some kind of obsession.

    I doubt this would work. He may love the smell of books, or the sound of the turning page. I too love real books and I prefer my music on CD.

    Why not 8 tracks, vinyls, or cassette tapes, since you wanna 'keep it real'. CDs are digital, so you may as well get ipod or whatever. Poser.
