On books
When I left the wife, started a new life I had a separate bedroom that I lined with Ikea bookshelves. It was my library. Every sci-fi, computer manual, and educational book I ever had filled it. I spent time doing library systems, and had free reign of the master county library pre-discard room. It was BIG. I collected. Match made in heaven. I spent a lot of time in Borders, bought at least 4 books a week for 8 years. You get the picture.
Then I packed them up into 3 van loads. When I got to the new apartment, I never really unpacked them. Just carried heavy books up the steps for no reason.
10 years and 8 moves later (I am in the middle of one right now) I am down to about a dozen books.
