Books, wonderful booooooks!

LOL! You two sound like me :) When I was an undergraduate I typically had 100 books checked out of the college library at any given time, plus my whole room was so full of my own books I could barely walk around. Towards graduation I discovered Half-Price Books, and it got worse. . .Today my walk-in closet has more books than clothes! And I can see being on this list is going to add to my reading list--I've written down about half a dozen new books people have mentioned just over the past week, LOL!

I had to pay to ship all my books home when I got out of the military...they put me over the weight limit for household goods. Heh...I'd also taken spare bookshelves from a couple other rooms...I had TONS of 'em.

Now I'm way short on shelves, so I have piles...and boxes full still down in the basement. I need to get more shelves.

Of course, as soon as I do, I'll feel like I'm permitted to get more books. And then I'll need more shelves. And then I'll want more books.

It just doesn't end.

Msdrby and I react to books the way Smeagol reacts to fish.
