If "Hell" is "running out of shelf space", I'm in the Ninth Circle already, and that's with an entire room of my home dedicated solely to books (though of course there are books in all the other rooms, too).

The pace of acquisition has slowed dramatically, however. It would be at a standstill were it not for the new publications coming out of the Dumbarton Oaks and I Tatti libraries from Harvard University Press, as well as the new dual-language Talmud series that Koren is putting out (11 volumes in print of an anticipated 41, with a new one roughly every 6-7 weeks; I guess I am due for another one soon since the last one was in late February). I also got inspired by "The Grand Budapest Hotel" to buy a couple more Zweig books from amazon.de, as well as a couple more Thomas Mann books in the process. But it's nothing like the last couple of years, where my Pléiade collection exploded to 87 volumes and my Italian I Meridiani collection (their version of Pléiade) grew to 21 volumes. I essentially bought everything I thought I would ever want to read in French, German, Italian, Greek and Latin (well, and Russian, but that was far more of a fine-tuning sort of process since I already had so much).

I'm really not missing much that I would want in hardcover at this point - I would like Dix ans plus tard by Dumas and Quatrevingttreize by Hugo in hardcover, and La Città del Sole by Campanella in Italian in hardcover. I also can't find a new printing of Gladkov's Цемент anywhere at all (including through specialty shops in Moscow).
