“looks at bookshelf of completely unread books.” Oh… Yeah I love books!
I know you’re joking but it’s absolutely possible to love books even when most may be unread. Umberto Eco sings the praises of the so-called “anti-library” here: https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/03/24/umberto-eco-antilibrary/

Yeah, I gave all of my physical books to the library and have like 1k books on my Kindle.

I buy books by the foot https://booksbythefoot.com/
I use em for heat.
Steady on Adolph.
