Which means I have an awfull lot I could give away, or take to the used book store. But I also have a stack of about 12 books which I've bought, but have not yet read. They are a variety of novellas by Edgar Allen Poe, some religious stuff, and a book paleontology and biological extinction. --Derek – With my small apartment, I’ve considered doing the same thing by thinning my book heard.
