OneStepAtATime Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 :lol: And no, there is no such thing as too many books. Just because I have taken up two whole rooms of our house with books (plus the boxes of books in various corners) doesn't mean we have too many books. It means we have too few rooms. :laugh: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 There is no such thing as too many books. There is only "too few bookshelves". 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 There is no such thing as too many books. There is only "too few bookshelves". This. Exactly. My living room looks like a library and we love it that way. I only regret not getting books on woodworking so my kids could also learn to build beautiful bookshelves. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 LOL! I could potentially make a piece of furniture out of used curriculum. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 LOL! I could potentially make a piece of furniture out of used curriculum. I'm hip, man. :) Actually, I think people should do this and share photos. Make it a contest. Maybe involve the kids. Tell them it is an engineering project. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnsFunnyFarm Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Too many books??? I'm not sure I understand that concept. That is like a nonsense sentence. Something silly I would tell my kids to write to get them giggling. I now know where to put the books I need to move to make room for those new sets I'm eyeing though. Anyone want a slightly used sofa? ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I should clarify...I also don't think you can have too many books. That IS a nonsense question. :001_smile: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I believe you must have accidentally reordered the words in that question. To answer the correctly worded question, Yes; I, too, have many books. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrayshire Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ha! I told my husband that we are running out of bookshelves and he tells me that we already mimic a library! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I had too many books, but not anymore. Last week I gave away and threw away more than 9/10th of my book collection and I'm not done yet. I feel so free and unburdened. I was losing more than I was gaining by owning so many books. I like to read books, and I like to own the book I'm currently reading more than borrowing it. From now on I'm going to try and mostly buy books that are super easy to give away, so that I can just give it right away when I am done with it. Other times, I'm making sure to buy a cheap used copy, if it's curriculum, so I don't feel guilty throwing it away when I'm done with it. It took me a couple years to go from wanting to downsize to figuring out how to do that, and finding peace with the results of doing that. I'm finally there. Books were the last thing I needed to break my hoarding tendencies with. Years ago I became an extreme minimalist, but was at war with myself over NEEDING to be surrounded with books. Not only did I get rid of books, but I got rid of about 1/4 of already very small collection of other possessions. That 1/4 was made up of things I only owned in my attempts to please other people. I decided I don't owe anyone to purchase and store belongings for their benefit. They get to choose what goes on their body and in their home and so do I even if they think I'm weird and a bad hostess and a sloppy dresser. I get to not care about the stuff they care about.

Mergath Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I didn't think we had too many books. Until we moved last week and I had to carry them all in boxes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
