2. Cash and vitually any bookstore waxes my budget. |

Over the past 25 years or so I've spent in excess of a 100K on books. Close to 30 tea chests full last time I moved. I was black and blue from knee to groin from carrying them.

You must have a lot of valuable books. What are some of your best, if you don't mind me being nosy. I collect cookbooks & have several hundred now. I love the old ones.

5. I haven't got into audio books, but I can easily |

see how enjoyable that would be. To listen to a book while I'm doing mundane chores would be so nice. Don't let me go there. :rofl:
I read this forum all the time even though I rarely post. I see a book that looks good & go on line. Et voila! There's a remaindered copy for sale for only a buck. And there's another book I've been meaning to read for just a few bucks. And S & H is reasonable. Before I know it I've racked up a mere 20 or 30 dollars on a card. Well, do that once or twice a month & DH is giving me odd looks.
