So, I go to the cheap places where they sell books in "All You Can Fit Into This Bag For $5" configuration, mostly Friends of the Library type fundraisers. 28/29 books in the bag later, and we're set.<br /><br />However, I don't put a book up onto the shelf until I've read it. So I have a stack of books by my desk just waiting for me to get to work on them. And I generally just read one at a time.<br /><br />I've got 44 waiting.<br /><br />I -will- get a Kindle, however, because if I didn't, I'd eventually never be able to move to a new house again.Andre Viennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864186604162631554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-78301682869779944402010-01-04T11:15:34.907-08:002010-01-04T11:15:34.907-08:00We've lived in our current house since 1986. ...We've lived in our current house since 1986. That's a long time to collect books! The shelves are full, there are piles of them on the floor, and there's an Amazon order due to be delivered today.<br /><br />Periodically I do pack up a couple of boxes of books and give them to my local library for their used book sales. But I'm generally swamped with the things, and yet I can't help but get more books!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-6004526847895923042010-01-04T10:39:42.351-08:002010-01-04T10:39:42.351-08:00I have books spread between two states at the mome...I have books spread between two states at the moment!!<br /><br />My mom has a lot of my books (some of them quite old) since we couldn't move them when we moved to Florida. I'm hoping when we visit (soon?), I'll be able to select some I've really been missing to bring back with me. Specifically, I could really use my Norton Anthologies!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268407996242055175noreply@blogger.com
