The Problem with Books....

What problem could there be with books- especially for a constant reader?
Well, the problem is: What to do with all of them....
Morgan built book shelves on his sun porch to move books from his den. He also bought a bookcase...er...another bookcase. He's been finding more and more books, books he doesn't want to give up...give away.
I know his pain. I purged bags and bags of books before I moved two years ago and I still have four large bookcases and several smaller bookcases - full bookcases. One bookcase is dedicated to books of my friends - of course those will never be given away. I tend to keep my hardcovers and give away my paperbacks, unless they're research-type, nonfiction books...those I keep.
At a mystery writers conference I met a couple who said their home looked like a library - not bookcases against the walls - bookcases in rows in the middle of the rooms. Sometimes I don't think that's such a bad idea. Rows of books, several comfy chairs and good lights. What's wrong with that? Really?
I love genre fiction, almost any genre. Morgan loves westerns and historical fiction.
I just gave myself a Kindle (my birthday present to myself).
Morgan said, "If all of Louis L'Amour's books can be found on Kindle then I'll get one."
Well, sweetie, guess what?
They are and guess what you're getting for YOUR birthday. Your very own Kindle.
Our Kindles will, hopefully, keep our home from looking too much like a library, at least not like a library with ROWS of bookcases.
