I hoard Isaac Send a noteboard - 09/05/2013 05:55:36 AM

Its a bad habit but I don't like throwing things out and so far where books are concerned I've managed to, just barely, get to the point where I can throw out software manuals for software I'd never use again or extra copies of reference material. I had a dictionary which was battered and moldering that I was able to throw out because I owned a few other ones.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Just donate them to your library and get an ereader. The format is rapidly approaching obsolescence. Ghavrel - 09/05/2013 08:22:56 AM 1191 Views

If I enjoy books I keep them. If I hate them I give them to charity or to unsuspecting friends. Rebekah - 20/05/2013 08:26:53 AM 1006 Views
