It's especially fun when you marry someone with the same/similar college major, particularly if that involves literature. And you realize you've ~already~ got two copies of most books...

:-D

At least you can trade in the extra copies for credit at a used book store.

All my credit is being left behind to those who don't appreciate it's worth. :-/

until you've already replaced half the books 'cause you forgot you had 'em.

And you realize you've ~already~ got two copies of most books...

We had both things happening to us on Saturday and Sunday... a lot of the things in the garage were books and such that Rose had left behind in San Antonio when she first moved to Austin, because she didn't have room for them. After a few years, she couldn't remember what had happened to them, so she bought new copies.

Occasionaly we'd open a box that had been damaged and find books or comics not worth keeping inside, and I'd say, "Don't worry, I have a good copy of that one..."

Hehehe.... I don't think Talon and I have too much overlap but there will probably be some. Our technical books are different at least.
