Grasping for the Wind

30,000 Books

Think you have a hard time finding a place to store all of your books, try finding shelving for 30,000 of them. Says the author, "I knew that once the books found their place, I would find mine." Too true, too true. I know I find it much easier to read when my books are organized and neatly stacked. At least my library is only at 2,274 books and doesn't yet require a barn, nor generate the fear that I will forced to "foresee a day in which my books, like that anonymous invader, will complete their gradual conquest. I will then be banished to the garden, but knowing the way of books, I fear that even that seemingly safe place may not be entirely beyond my library’s hungry ambition."
