I wish my collection was that small...then I wouldn't have to hire a seperate truck for my next house move just for books. Time to start purging to be prepared for the move...who am I kidding I will be adding more as the days go by.

Veritas05/17/2006

I literally cut my book collection in half because I had to move. I was in school so I moved once a year... I got really sick of having to steal MORE milk crates from the school cafeteria to haul my books around. I started giving them away to my roommates (who were also history majors). So I at least can get them back if I ever need to!

listology4705/17/2006

Personally there are just some of my school texts (English major) that I don't have the heart to part with at this point. (convocation for my BA is June 2)

Moving does make one merciless if the packing process takes to long. I would part with clothes before books.

Veritas05/17/2006

I've actually done that too. Most of the books I gave away were ones I wasnt overly sentimental about... ones like "the Puritan Family" by Edmund Morgan (which I'd personally rather gouge out my eyes & pour salt into the open wounds than have to read ever again). I only kept the textbooks I honestly felt I'd use again.

I still need to go back and list the rest of my books. I have 185 leather-bound classics my mom gave me that I havent catalouged yet.
