>You are probably right and I have promised my wife no more bookcases. I still have a few shelves that are not occupied but when they are all filled I will begin to cull some of them.

>There are a number of books that I haven't read yet. I had the good fortune to come across a bookstore that was going to go out of business and got to buy several grocery bags of books for $1.00 a bag.

I bet your wife was in her apple-cart when you got home with YET MORE BOOKS!

>I only recently have resolved to limit how often I go to the bookstore. In fact it has been about 4 weeks since my last visit to one which is probably the longest I have ever gone without dropping by.

I can just picture you meeting a "book-dealer" on a street corner, or going to BBA meetings: "Hi everyone, my name's Tim, and I'm a book buyer" lol

("It started with just the odd 'Janet and John', then I went on to reading Noddy. Before I knew it, it was War & Peace ...")
