"Germany calling..."

Wow, Steve you must have used the same interior decorator as myself. Now I don't feel so unique: guitars and amp?... check; books?... check; model kit boxes?... check; computer corner?... check...

The books in piles I have taken one step farther as I have a goodly number of them in boxes, which I have numbered and cataloged in the event I should need to find a particular volume. I have been trying to weed out some of the books, but I always run into the reasoning of "Well, I know I haven't opened this book in [insert number of years or, even, decades here], but I just might need it some day". I am sure the book on Japanese tea rituals will be very vital to someone in the near future...

I also have boxes of VHS tapes, audio cassettes, and audio CDs that I haven't unpacked since I moved into these digs about 6 years ago...

My building has a room with extra storage closets for each apartment. Mine is full of boxes of still more books. Most of mine are the result of working years ago for a book distributor's warehouse. Books that couldn't be sold to bookstores and universities because of damage were written off and put in a big bin. The restriction was that employees could not take more than three books per day. Poor me. My plan was to read them, then give to a library or a friend who wanted them. Twenty years later I still haven't started on that. I'm too busy reading the books I just bought.
