I love collecting books simply cause the feel of the soft cover, colors, title engraved on the cover with metallic colors, the number of pages that makes it feel more wanted and the size of the text, preferably medium. It always caught my eyes watching my two brothers reading huge books of harry potter and so on, with the small font in small duration of time. That summarizes my love for collecting books. It never occurred to me even once on how they felt reading the whole book or what kept them going on.
One of the disturbing habits of my second brother was that once he's done reading a book, it simply goes for a toss. Even today, I never understood his logic spending so much on buying them and throwing them away, instead donate or give it away for good purpose. He's into the world of minimalist having the things he really wants.
On the other hand, it inspired me to pull up a bookshelf and collect books to make you look like a devoted reader, through my elder brother. He's so passionate about reading fictions and novels and I find it so hard to gift him a perfect book.
