Objects of Our Desire: Exploring Our Intimate Connections with the Things Around Us
Salman Akhtar
This is a brilliantly written book by a psychiatrist that examines why we hang on to stuff and simply can't part with it for various reasons. He explores our rationale for becoming 'collectors.' Here is a quote from the preface..." We are surrounded by things. We are involved with them, indebted to them. We speak to things and things speak to us. To say that we are interdependent is banal. Let us be courageous. Let us admit it: we are lovers."
Easy, delightful read. I recommend it.
