ALT A diagram of a complex mechanism for readers. The caption explains “when the quantity of unread books reaches a specific weight, the mechanism restricts the reader’s ability to add to their stockpile until the backlog has been reduced.” The “restriction” is achieved by placing a cloche over the reader’s credit card, library card and bookshop loyalty card, and smashing their internet router with a mallet.

ALT Panel 1: A man finds a ghost reading a book and says "I thought you’d died?". The ghost replies "My Life has ended but I cannot pass over to the spirit realm when so much remains undone." Panel 2: The man says "You mean all those books you bought and never got around to reading?". The ghost turns to look at bookshelves piled high with books and says "It won’t take long. There are fewer distractions when you’re dead." Panel 3: A few months later... The man says "Is it me, or are the piles getting bigger?" (there are indeed more books than previously) "My Library card still works!" says the Ghost happily "But once I’ve read these I’ll start on the ones in the attic."
