I have a lot of books too. Definitely don't read them as fast as you, but they are treasures and I do re-read my favorites. When we moved 4+ years ago, I finally parted with some college text books and LOTS of others. Took them to the local library where some were salvaged, some were recycled. I just couldn't bear the thought of throwing them out and thinking about them in some land fill not being 'reborn' in the recycling process somehow. At least some have been read by a new audience...or at least I hope they have been. Guess moving/renovation generates the needed re-acquiring of space by cleaning out the old accumulations.

Many of my records were "over loved", scratched, puppy chewed covers etc. I did save about 50 or so and will probably buy a USB turntable one day. The ones saved had very cool cover art or were favorites. A buddy was at one time the VP of sales for Warner Bros record and used to send me pallets of records plus posters. I did save a new, un-played set of Little Feat albums which in the old days were my favorite band. There was a time in the late 60's early 70's when I would get off work, cash my check and buy three albums for $11. One time a clerk at my favorite hole in the wall record store gave me a Jackson Brown, Saturate Before Using water bag which I proudly display in my shop.
