[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 81607, member: 2063"] I don't know about anyone else but I have a serious thing for books. Our library had their annual fund raiser (they are trying to build a new building) this weekend. People donate books and the ones the library discards go up for sale for several days ending on Sunday with a buy them by the box for $2 dollars. I usually go the first day and pick a few for whatever they are charging and then on Sunday hit the pay dirt. I average five boxes a year. husband dutifully comes to do the heavy lifting for me (and usually others too). I have all my books in a database on my computer and as I am crawling over the 2000 mark I take it with me so I can not get duplicates. I take books like some people take in stray animals. I am passionate about them. So for me today is like Christmas. Several boxes of books to add to my collection and read over the next year. I have favorite authors that I am trying to get all of their books but for me I just love them all. Sorry for going on and on but I think right behind family I love books best in the world. (And to be honest some days I certainly like books better as they take me to other places.) Beth [/QUOTE]
