This is the main stack of books we've just moved into the new house. It's quite big.
There's about 40 boxes here and another 15 scattered elsewhere... and I have to get them onto these waiting shelves:
If you find my crushed body beneath a fallen stack, let them know it's the way I would have wanted to go!
(Well, if I can't die during sex. That's the ideal, obviously...)
This is why I've gone digital. I'm 62. I can't take them with me when I leave this mortal coil. I don't want to burden my single progeny with trying to disseminate my collection. I don't read books that she would want to read other than the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Most of what I read is kinky. That's not her thing. Reselling books is not lucrative. I don't collect signatures. I live in an apartment that my husband filled with his books when we moved in. There's no room for mine.
ReplyDeleteI sympathise! Yes, it can all seem a bit pointless collecting books when they can be bought digitally, but for some reason we just can't break the habit ;-)
