I was wondering when you would get to Bookporn. I have been hoarding all of my life and few things bring me greater comfort. There were always scads of books when I was growing up. When I was at college I had a charge account at the bookstore. By late in my sophomore year my room at the house where I lived had over 200 books many of them references and I was the resident library source for my fraternity brothers in almost anything having to do with the liberal arts. Even if I have gone through three or four purges of my collection in past years, I still have over 8,000 and I treat each one like a treasure. I never break the spines of any book including paperbacks and many I have read over and over still look new - each a treasure and indicative of my “wealth.”

I’m honored that we’ve somehow made it through 7 years of friendship with my color coded shelves.
I’ve been hearing from a lot of people about that part 😂
Lots of good memories of talking about books in the family; so glad we all love books together, even if not always the same books!
