Last night, I went to my bookshelves downstairs looking for something to good to read. I cleared out a shelf, and started shelving books that I hadn't yet read for easy access later. The shelf kept filling and filling. I was amazed. How could this happen? How could I have accumulated so many books I hadn't read? I'll tell you how. It's very simple.
Yards sales. Deseret Industries. Hand-me-downs. Amazon. Ebay. I'll find books that I want to read someday, like a classic, such as Little Women, or a book that I've heard is really good, like The Winds of War, and I'll buy them. Granted most of them are less than a dollar, so I don't feel to badly about it.
As I looked at my shelf full of books calling my name, I realized that the library should be out of the question right now. I have a year's worth of reading in my basement. This is going to be challenging because the library is one of my Favorite places to go. I love the ambience, the organization, even the sometimes grumpy workers. I'll just have to limit myself to Tyson books. That shouldn't be too hard.
Yeah right.

The library is a place I absolutely love too. Good Luck!
I agree with the grumpy workers, every now and then there are some good ones.
You do have quite a little library yourself, keep up with it.
