I wish for a desire to actually read chess books that matches my desire to hoard them. My chess knowledge fits in a small silver spoon, but my book collection takes up a massive bookcase. Apparently, my real hobby is buying books.
I take medication for depression and my chess can be up and down like my mood... :)
