Are you any good at coining pseudo-scientific, Latinish-based words? Or, maybe you know of ones already in existence that can describe two physical and psychological reactions I frequently experience?
The first is that head-rushing, heart-racing euphoria that comes when I have one or more new books to read. Also can apply to the general feeling of walking into a bookstore.
The second is that heart-sinking, anxious tinge of depression that I get when I count out the presumed number of my remaining days (which, really, I am probably too optimistic in calculating, because God only knows how much time I have left) and realize how many books I will have left unread at the end of this earthly time. Also can apply to the general feeling of walking into a bookstore.
Read on, my friends!
Books are hindrances to persisting stupidity. ~Spanish proverb
