We probably had 500 books on our shelves.

Four kids. One is an expert on children’s literature. Another is a book editor. Another is an engineer.

The trucker doesn’t read much but he does have a Tom Clancy book hollowed out to hold a pistol.

The editor lives in an upstairs apartment. She has so many books no one will help her move.

Wow, that mirrors our family in so many ways. I am a linguist and historian with a huge library of language centered books, my wife was a nurse with another big library. We have five children.

The children have turned into a professional writer, 1 x business major running scheduling, computer IT guy and another is doing her degree in physics. The youngest boy threw it all out the window and drives trucks.
