Five thousand books? You're just ahead of me, dammit.
I would imagine you have rather more cultural capital than your average "millionaire". Folk don't seem to equate the vicissitudes of the rat-race with cultural barbarism quite enough for my liking.
We do know that folk with cultural capital and refined tastes are scary and have to be depicted in our media as serial killers, sadists, fascists, or merely extremely odd; unless they are actually of the Mandarin Class, in which case it is assumed to be their birthright. I suppose that's why I've gotten away with it.
