When I came down to Texas for Seminary three years ago, I brought 150 shelf-feet of books with me. In other words, my books took up 150 feet of bookshelf space.
I just added it all up again, and in three years, I have added over 60 feet of books! 20 feet a year! I am now up to over 210 feet of bookshelf space. Yes, I have an addiction.
Of course, having lots of books means nothing except that I’ve bought a lot of books. It’s reading them that is the key! But I also have a reading addiction (which my wife shares also, and which we successfully passed on to our three girls), so I’m okay. Is that rationalizing?

You should donate the ones you won’t read again to a library. Especially before you move.
Oh, and my computer’s problem with your site has obviously cleared up. 🙂

Bullet,
Yay! (about the computer)
and
Yes! (about the books). Great idea. I will start sorting them.
(PS, I’ve been reading some of your debate with that guy who says America is a Christian nation. Interesting stuff!)
