I absolutely loved this video as at last someone who thinks exactly the way I do. Now I do not have as many books a Joe but I do have more books in my house than my bookstore, Beauty and the Book. I too have a method to my book collecting madness and my main concern is shelving. When I moved into my house, all the books I had accumulated in my life I put in the attic as the house did not have any bookshelves. Since then I filled every room with more books and this spring I plan to go up into that attic and rediscover the books of my youth and beyond. They have been up there for the ten years I have lived in this house.
It is very hard for me to part with a book but since I am having main concerns about the house's very foundation, now when I decide to "shelve" a book, it must be one that I will reread. All other books I pass on to my local Jefferson Carnegie Library, the local schools, or to my fellow Pulpwood Queen Book Club members.
A book is the gift that keeps on giving and I have built a house of books that keeps my imagination growing and my sanity intact.
God Bless the "Book Obsessed" for those that are serious readers are also I have found people who bring intelligence, understanding, and peace into this world.
Tiara wearing and Book sharing,
