So many books, so little time or money to buy them

i remember when i worked in the corporate world. i made more money so i bought hardcover books and lattes to satisfy my thirst for knowledge and caffeine as well as to tolerate going to a job i hated everyday.

now i work in a bookstore, i'm surrounded by books and talk to people about books and shelve books eight hours a day but cannot afford to buy books or lattes on a whim anymore.

i love going to work everyday though, and i love being surrounded by books and discussing them. i guess that is more important than making money.

they say money can't buy happiness but it can buy books and coffee and options.......
