Summary

This quote humorously highlights the irony and exaggeration of someone's misfortune. It suggests that the speaker had such a small collection of books that even the loss of just two books, one of which hadn't even been used, is seen as significant. The quote serves as a commentary on the value and importance people often place on material possessions, contrasting it with the idea that true worth lies in intellectual pursuits rather than the physical objects themselves.
