I have probably lost all my readers by now…but if you’re still out there, thanks for hanging around. I haven’t posted in a while because we’ve been moving. Wendy and I counted the other day, and we think this is our twelfth move in twelve years. Not fun. We do not like moving.
Hopefully, we can stay here for a while.
Anyway, during this move, Wendy and I realized (once again) that we have an addiction. We are addicted to books. Between the two of us, we filled 25 bookcases.ย These cases are six feet high, with five shelves each.ย And we stacked books on top of the cases also,ย so each one is holding six shelves of books.ย That’s a lot of books!ย
Let’s see…if each shelf is about 2.5 feet wide,ย and weย use six shelves on each bookcase, then we have about 375 linear feet of books.ย Not every shelf isย packed as full as it can be, so let’s make it only 300 linear feet. That’sย a football field of books!
And yes, in case you’re wondering, we don’t just collect books; weย hope to read them all as well. I currently have over 80 books in my “must read NOW” pile. Sigh.
