I've moved so many times in my life that I finally got rid of all my books. I had boxes and boxes and boxes... The Kindle is so much easier to move.

I had an old book as a child by sir Sidney Smith called Mostly Murder about the start of Pathology - It was pretty gruesome reading but tantalisingly short stories I read it many times.
My father had a first edition of Alice in Wonderland that he carried into war it was all age spotted when he came back and sellotaped together - he must have read it over and over - I loved it!

I have one of my father's old High School textbooks. It is amazing what was not known back then (pre Depression).

I have many books as old as 1700s ...

If you ever make it to the UK. Do visit Hay on Wye. They have a festival but all year round it is a town of book shops. It is to books what Vegas is to gambling.

Very cool. I’d have to make an art project out of it.
