Like my father used to say "nunca se tira un libro"... "you never trow away a book", so I've been keeping his and mine and my mother's, I think I'll have to start stacking them on the floor if I don't stop buying more.

Yeah, throwing books away is kinda stupid. My aunt threw away an old copy of Beowulf because, as she said, "Who reads Beowulf twice?" :x :x :x

You can get the El-cheapo bookshelves (5 shelf) units at Wal-Mart for about $30.

I'll give you my dad's phone number. :lol: :lol: :lol:
By the way, I put away some books to make room for the new ones, and I found that I actually have a copy of Animal Farm.

Cool!! I've never found a book that has so much profound wisdom about human nature in so few pages.

The Missus sneaks them in when I'm not home. We're swamped with them. Can't bear to give any away, and the ones I've tried to sell don't fetch the price I paid for them!!

(Rarest one is a copy of the Necronomicon autographed by Lovecraft, and Shub-Niggorath.)
