I'm out of booze! I don't know how that could have happened, but when I went to my bar yesterday evening, I realized it's almost dry. Only a handful of spirits remain — and those are the ones neither my wife or I like to drink. Maybe I should just throw them away? That's harsh.
In this regard booze is just like books. I have a ton of books I don't like and that I'm never going to read again. Yet they occupy space on my book shelves. Is this because I want to say "look how smart I am, look how many books I read"? Is this because I think books have some inherent value — after all book-burning is a big NONO — and throwing them away is somehow a slight against the author? An affront to humanity? The first step into barbarity, again?
I resolve to clean out my book shelves. And order some booze.
