Too many books?
Do I have too many books? That is the question. As I’m packing up all my stuff to get it ready for moving on Wednesday, I’m struck by the fact that it would undoubtedly be much easier to do this if I had rather less stuff. In particular, the boxes of gaming books do rather stand out as being… voluminous.
I am dropping off one box of books to the Friends of the Library Booksale on Tuesday, since they only take donations a few days a week. But it has occurred to me that I’ve only got one little box going to them and I’ve got something like ten boxes going to my new place. I think I’m going to try to not go to the booksale this year, though.
And somehow, although I continue to pack down more and more stuff, my room still looks like a complete disaster area. Surely at some point it will start to look empty?
Yeah, I ran into that quandry in preparation for our move. I think we ended up selling or donating about a third of our novels.
Sadly, I’m not ready to give up any more of my gaming books just yet.
Oh, and as far as the Friends of the Libary are concerned, you can donate any time. They’ve got a slot that you can shove the books through. You only have to be there at specific time to give them to a human.
When I was dropping off my books, I noticed that you can drop off the books through the slot at any time. Oh well.
I made the woman at the place very happy, though, by not insisting on getting my box back. This meant that she didn’t have to pile them all up on the table in front of her like she had had to with a lot of other people’s, which seemed to have caused her no small amount of stress.
