Dew the Do, I say! 27364@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 18:34:26 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27296 as the saged Martini Ranch sang, "How can the laboring man find time for self culture?" 27296@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 15:27:44 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27282 The problem with that is I need to own the book. I may want to reference it later or mount it on the wall as trophy, regardless I need unconditional access to the words at all time. I think its the Bibliophile in me. Hi! My name is Dew and I'm a book-a-holic. 27282@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 14:59:22 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27279 I gave up years ago and just use the library. My to-read stack is hundreds of titles long, and my credit statement is relatively healthy as a result. 27279@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 14:55:26 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27267 I wish I could just have a percentage of my check go directly to B&N, Books A Million, Borders and Lemuria. It would save a helluva lotta time. 27267@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 14:18:31 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27259 be calm?!! dude, time's 'a wastin'!! there's books out there!! (i'll post photos when all that's left of floor space in my house is the path between the shoulder-height book piles) 27259@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 14:03:06 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27246 you have to either be calm and take it one at a time, or dispense with books and go for shorter-form material. Why do you think the Internet is so popular? 27246@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 13:40:18 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27245 I think I probably buy them that quick too. When I moved out of my apartment in June my best friend was a tad perturbed to say the least. 65% of the boxes we moved contained nothing but books. Now with most of my precious literature sitting in a storage room, I am afraid my car has become a mobile library. And still I want more!! Woe is me... 27245@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 13:39:37 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27235 i'm lucky in that both me & my wife are book-o-holics. so the the only danger is tripping over the piles. 27235@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 12:59:14 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27234 I have to hide my "to be read" pile so my wife doesn't notice it getting bigger... 27234@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 12:55:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/06/110352.php#comment-27225 what's really bad is when you have several "to be read" piles...and you lose track of what's in 'em. happens to me all the time. 27225@blogcritics.org Thu, 6 Nov 2003 12:20:56 EST
