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 ...

I have just given my library of books to a great-nephew! (Painful). I had older books that had great wisdom in them, little of which is even contemplated in today’s modern society! It is as if, everything is being thrown out and a ‘start from scratch,’ to build a new society! Well, it appears there is a lot of new ideas that does not support human nature! And, it also appears at the moment...most people don’t care!

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