Buttloads of Books
I went on a cleaning spree a while back. Like many of my cleaning sprees this one wasn’t completed. I got most of the way done but when it came to hitting and organizing my books I balked after one easy shelf. Today I hit the task again. I am 90% done.
I have just over 700 books on shelves ranging from science fiction and fantasy to physics reference books to history to Greek philosophy to old atlases and on and on and on. I am frankly shocked when I go through them at what I have. This number does not include the 100 plus books I have from my days at Sunset (we got a copy of each book as it was released, plus those on give away tables) nor the two boxes of outdated computer books (assembly language for 68K Macintosh anyone?). Pile on the many books that I know are missing or loaned out and that’s a buttload of books.
I will definitely have to go through and cull many of them. I have an abundant number of math books inherited from my Grandfather; I really only need one or two of them. Some of the science books are out of date. Some of the fiction plain sucked. Still I doubt I’ll be getting rid of even 100.
I’m a pack rat, what can I say. Even I amaze myself with it at times. Don’t even get me started with the movies I have…
