You May Have Too Many Books When...

[stoutfellow]

you begin reading the Gillian Bradshaw novel you bought a few weeks ago, notice that the storyline seems a bit familiar, go over to your shelves and find another copy - not only the same book, but the same edition.

Sigh. Anybody want a copy of The Wolf Hunt?

Been there, done that. ;<}

Have also disposed of books, missed them, gone out and procured them again. That makes me reluctant to part with what I have.

More amusing, though, is that I've had books as gifts - repeated in successive years - from the same person for the repeated books, but otherwise different people.

Now, I wonder if I've done that . . . No-one's going to tell, of course.

And this is why I have the Excel workbook devoted to books.

I have also been in the UBS and picked up books that I brought in.

On this note, it really annoys me when they do cover reissues (in general - the David Weber reissue was nice because of some of the horrid artwork) and then I get excited when I see a new looking book. JD Robb is the latest one to do this, and some of the covers are UGLY.

Wouldn't have done me any good, since this was an impulse buy at Borders.

Sometimes, I find book sales and pick up books that I want, even knowing I won't be able to read them for a while. And this is how I ended up with three copies of Orson Scott Card's Shadow Puppets a while ago.
