Closer than you might think :-) I have over 6000 books at my house too (most technical). I love information.

As do I; about a third technical, the rest art, history, philosophy and literature.
But we both know that what happens to those after we depart is another matter altogether. Thank God for the Library of Congress. If that goes, the future are in deep doo doo.

(Sounds like the ideal subject for a good movie, no?)

I know. I too am glad for libraries. Should there be a major catastrophe, all knowlege will not be lost. Unlike what happened at Alexandria.
