The Tyranny of due dates

Never thought I'd say this, but here goes. There can, indeed, be such a thing as too many books. Today, while dropping off my books at the American and British libraries before going home for two weeks (and rarely, for me, not heading to the shelves immediately to check out more books to lug home), I felt such a sense of peace, a calmness and relief, that there were not books at home that I HAD to read, so I could read the books I actually wanted to read (even if for a short period).
