About My Library

I have two 8 foot high custom made bookcases that were made probably 40 years ago or so for my great-aunt and great-uncle. I got them after they died. I also have a 5 foot high bookcase that I bought from a do it yourself store. All of my books fit into those bookcases, more or less. Once they get filled up, I start purging. That keeps the total number of books permanently below 500.

I had always bought a lot of books, but kept purging to avoid overflow. Now I buy fewer books and take more out from the library. Maybe one day, I'll buy another bookcase. . . .

About Me

A guy who likes to read. For almost twenty years, I took mass transit to work, which allowed me to read for an hour almost every day. Now I work from home, which gives me even more time to read.
