About meI'm a recent escapee from graduate school; I'm now an assistant prof in Renaissance Drama at the University of Saskatchewan. I'm dismayed to find out how few books I have, comparatively: probably about a thousand, all told. How *do* people move with 14,000 books? Of course, I'm not putting the murder mysteries and other happy junk up.

About my libraryIt's the contents of my office, so it's all work-related: Jacobean, Caroline and Elizabethan plays, poetry and prose, and lots and lots of lit crit and theory. I'm hoping that this will stop me from buying duplicates and passing up texts I really need because I think I already have them.

I found you because I noticed we share a 3-volume set of the Palace of Pleasure. Where did you go to graduate school? I long since left academia, but I was a Renaissance lit specialist when I was in the field (but I was more on the poetry side than the drama).
How *do* people move with 14,000 books???

Aaargh.. Though I "only" have about 5 to 6 thousand myself, it's something I wish to avoid as much as possible.
