The things we’d do for free books… On a more serious note, if there was an apocalypse, a goal of mine would be to save as many books as possible. To preserve the knowledge we have and great stories written.
I always wonder what would be the best things to save. Textbooks in science, engineering, medicine and other useful skills would have priority but after that, should I save only classics, books I like, whatever I find? After all, one man’s classic is another man’s toilet paper. Who am I to judge?
I agree. I would be constantly be torn between textbooks and fiction, and then what type of fiction. There are so many classics/books I don’t like, but I would be saving the books not just for me but humanity. So I would have to get a large selection of everything I suppose. Just save all the books! š
We continually stack up books on various themes of the moment read all around the subject of the moment ~Change the theme and weed the shelves for charity shops’ where many originated š
š I volunteer at a charity used book store and harbor books every week. I’m running out of room. You can come visit my books anytime. ā¤
⤠Is the book store in NSW Australia? š That's great that you're doing volunteer work. What's the best aspect of your work?
I sort, price and shelf books and stack ’em as I read their blurbs, for a handful for me. I try to keep it down to two or three. Try. ā¤
The bookstore in in Canada. I sort, price and shelve books.
Ahh, Canada is not really around the corner for me to visit. š I think I would get in trouble for reading on the job!

Get yourself a big-assed bomb-shelter then! š

It sounds like you have a lot of books!
Yes, far too many, I am a bookworm and an addict~ š
So am I. I live at home at the moment, but when I move out I will invest into a mini library.
