I also use desultory, ethereal, and languor.  I'm also one of the ever-diminishing group of people who can still differentiate affect and effect, and therefore can use affect instead of impact in sentences. (e.g. budget cuts affected teacher salaries)

I like "pettifogging". Endless useful on the internet forum scene.

Circumlocution is one of my favorite words, particularly when reading certain online forums.

I use the phrase "slander and calumny" when needed.

... And if you don't dress like that when browsing the bookstore you're doing it wrong.

That's my wife.

That's my dad.

It's not me. Defo not me. I don't waste money like that. Never. Nu-huh. Nope. Wouldn't do it.

How is buying books wasting money?

It's a ceremony. It's a ritual. I look for a book store first whenever I visit some place. Esp. used book stores are special for me. You wouldn't believe what you find at the other side of the world. The writings on the books. Crawling, rolling on the floor between cases, climbing shelves. It's a bit dusty, but smells awesome.

I have been using an old fashioned kindle for the last 6 years, but never stopped buying books. Not doable. No electronic device can have the charisma of a good book.

First, you should flip the whole post.

Second, when I want to get out of the house I go to book stores, new and used, as first choice.

Bravo!  I like reading the writings of people with a good vocabulary. Size matters--the bigger, the better. :)))

LOL OK. Flipped. When you said I would never waste money like that I thought you refered to the cartoon.

When we moved to this house the first thing I did was buy five more bookcases. We didn't have the room in the previous house to put everything on the shelves. Now we have one room that is nothing but bookcases and comfy chairs.

[drunkenshoe]

I have a few small cases. Cheap IKEA ones.

Once the kid and grandkid moved back in, my library was relocated to the attic. I miss my books.

My wife had hers in storage until I moved her here from Albuquerque. Then they stayed in boxes in the room where I kept my boxes of books. (I received fifty cases of books from Denver when my partner at Hyperwar died.)
