Book Lovers Debate Whether Massive Home Libraries Cross Into Hoarding
Original: As much as I like reading, I shudder when I read about people's home collections of thousands of books. It's not hoardin
A debate over owning thousands of books at home is drawing attention among readers. It stems from the story of Danny Yee, who faced a dilemma 15 years ago when he and his partner moved from Sydney to Britain and had to decide what to do with their large book collection. Commenters say that while such collections are not hoarding, the sheer scale can feel close to it, prompting readers to share their own experiences with overflowing shelves.
Why now: Readers are weighing in on whether huge personal book collections are a passion or a problem.
