'We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit'-Aristotle

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.
"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; in the deed the glory."
