Stuff is a fascinating book about compulsive hoarding. The book contains specific cases that go into great detail about each individual and what event in his or her life may have triggered the hoarding. Hoarding not only affects women, but also many men too. The book starts out by asking "What would be the first item you grab in a fire?" Hoarders might really struggle with this question. Not only that, but hoarders often live in homes where there is no escape route, among the "goat trails", and sometimes die among their treasures. Although this book was written in 2010, hoarding will always be an "illness" people have to learn to cope with in their lives. This book touches on "What happens when our stuff starts to own us?" and is a book every hoarder should read.
