In a way it's almost droll. You'd expect that when you're told that at best you only have a few years left, you'd stop buying new books, there being so many you want to read once more before you go. You'd think that in particular you'd buy no 'educative' ones, for what use you'd have for any thus acquired new knowledge? You'd think you'd focus on books in those languages you know best, to get the most satisfaction from what you read.
Yet unable to help myself I ended up yesterday buying three books in French (the one amongst my four 'primary' languages I'm weakest at) and two history books. I guess that if you're an avid, unsatiable bookworm, you're an avid, unsatiable bookworm till the end.
