None of us could afford the space to keep all the books we've ever wanted to read.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-89968620861990724342014-01-01T02:31:36.665-05:002014-01-01T02:31:36.665-05:00Sacchi, I hardly think you need an excuse for your...Sacchi, I hardly think you need an excuse for your life-long intimacy with books! <br /><br />I have my authors copies in boxes, too, in a storage area inside an office that's locked when we're not working. A lot of other erotica is out there too, as I mentioned during the fortnight when we were discussing erotica we revisit.<br /><br />Anyway, neatness is overrated.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-91447644305886537882013-12-30T20:23:03.248-05:002013-12-30T20:23:03.248-05:00Daddy and Amanda,

Most of them go to the local League of Women Voters yearly book sale, an event I used to work with and sometimes headed back in my younger days. I'm old enough to have gone through several incarnations, or so it sometimes feels. I wonder what will come next.Sacchi Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801164916418570059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-79259807166743126962013-12-30T15:36:51.803-05:002013-12-30T15:36:51.803-05:00i was so surprised to learn that you didn't li...i was so surprised to learn that you didn't live in a house covered in book shelves, Sacchi. ! but it's lovely how much the library has been a part of your life.

And that's in addition to five tall bookcases in a 1000 sq ft house where a publishing production manager lives. We've tried to cut down on the numbers of books, selling some rare ones, giving some away to friends, donating others. Works that were once rare or esoteric can now all be found on-line.Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.com
