Are you a book hoarder? There's a word for that. – LA Times.
How many books is too many books? What makes you a book hoarder? What do you do when you have too many?
In Japanese, there’s a word for it: tsundoku. It’s a noun that describes a person who buys books and doesn’t read them, and then lets them pile up on the floor, on shelves, and assorted pieces of furniture.

Tennessee state Senator Stacey Campfield
I am Stacey.
Stacey I am.
That Stacey-I-am!
That Stacey-I-am!
Do you not like
That Stacey-I-am?
Do you not like
My flavor of ham?
I do not like you
Stacey-I-am
I do not like
Your favor of ham.
Would you like it
Here or there?
I would not like it
Here or there.
I would not like it
Anywhere.
I do not like
Your flavor of ham.
I do not like it,
Stacey-I-am.
Would you like it
In a senate or a house?
Would you like it
With a correct spouse?
I would not like it
In a senate or a house
I would not like it
And neither does my spouse.
I do not like it
Here or there.
I do not like it anywhere.
I do not like your flavor of ham.
I do not like you, Stacey-I-am.
Would you like it
In a box?
Would you like it
On Faux News Fox?
Not in a box.
Not on Faux News Fox.
Not in a senate or a house.
Not with my spouse.
I do not like it here or there.
I do not like it anywhere.
I do not like your flavor of ham.
I do not like you, Stacey-I-am.
Would you? Could you?
In a stadium?
I could wear a mask
And create some mayhem.
I would not, could not
In a stadium.
You may like it.
You will see.
You may like it
On TV!
I would not, could not on TV.
Not in a stadium! You let me be.
I do not like it in a box.
I do not like it on Faux News Fox.
I do not like it in a senate or a house.
I do not like it with a correct spouse.
I do not like it here or there.
I do not like it anywhere.
I do not like your flavor of ham.
I do not like you, Stacey-I-am.
A plane! A plane!
Could you, would you
On a plane?
The monkey can fly while I explain.
Not on a plane! Not in a stadium!
Not in a mask! Stacey, stop the mayhem!
I would not, could not, in a box.
I could not, would not, on Faux News Fox.
I will not and neither will my spouse.
I will not like you in a senate or a house.
I will not like you here or there.
I will not like you anywhere.
I do not like you, Stacey-I-am.
Say!
In the dark?
Here in the dark!
Would you, could you, in the dark?
I would not, could not,
in the dark.
Though from the dark
Is where you hark.
Would you, could you,
on voting day?
We can starve children
And “Don’t Say Gay.”
I would not, could not, on voting day.
Not in the dark. Not in any way,
Not in a stadium, Not on TV.
I do not like you, Stacey, you see.
Not in a house. Not in a box.
Not with my spouse or Faux News Fox.
Not in a plane. Not in a mask.
I do not like you, so don’t ask.
I do not like you here or there.
I do not like you anywhere!
I do not like
Your type of ham.
I do not like you
Stacey-I-am.
So when it comes
Election day
I’ll pull the lever
And send you away.
Stacey Campfield on TV.
