Books

[cjsmith]

I got tagged with the book version of the movie quiz. The most interesting nugget from this is how many books I own. I've never counted. I love books, I buy books, I have trouble getting rid of books (but I will cull when pressed), and one of the most relaxing things I do is curl up with a good book. I figured I might have several hundred.

I started mentally counting bookcases in the house -- only mine, not rfrench's, and not the shelves with quilts on them. I believe I have between 150 and 175 linear feet of books. I'm sure that's at least twelve books per foot, probably a good bit more on average, so somewhere between 1800 and 2100 books as a conservative estimate.

Wow.

Good thing books are useful for fanning a fevered brow. :-)
