amateurs. :wally i have a 10x14 shed filled with books, waiting for the kids to move
out. that’s why they call me “two sheds”, one for books, the other for all my other
good stuff. and that’s not counting the ones in the house. or the garage. or the barn.
Fewer than 200 I bet.
My parents were packrats and I try to keep ‘things’ to a minimum. Collecting books is a compulsive behavior like any other.
I also enjoy giving books away. I like to be generous. My standard is if I will really read it again.
BTW, am I the only one who has a copy of The Oxford Companion to Food?
Oh, 1500 or so. And that’s a conservative estimate. What’s more troubling is how many books I currently have in my “To be read pile”–probably about 100-150. I have a problem.
