The answer to the question in the title is, of course, that I am Loki and I do what I want. (And if you don't think Loki collects books [perhaps not novels, though?], I don't know what to say to you.) But it's all very well for an Asgardian prince... I'm sure he has lots of shelf space.
Or, y'know, some kind of pocket dimension library.
Me? Not so much.
It isn't like I bought very many... this time. Six or seven, and only two of those were large books.
But you know that tumblr post on Pinterest about Quicksilver and Thor's hammer? no? ...hang on...

That's me. Except it's more like:
"oh, what a great idea, let's get more books"
*teetering towers of books collapse and crush me*
"I HAVE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE"
*teetering towers of books collapse and crush me*
"I HAVE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE"
