I see your 450 hardcover books, and raise you 1,500 softcover books, and 1,200 e-books. :) I never judge a book by its binding.

Ah another avid reader. I read about 4 hours or so a day since I retired and work on our house has slowed down.

And I have a copy (Electronic, I don't "do" paper books anymore). But ... I find myself strangely unwilling to read it, probably because it's the final book of the Expanse story. I dunno, I guess I'm just reluctant to let the story end, even though I want to know what happens. And next week ... the same problem, with the final TV series on Amazon. Damnit! :laugh: Thinking about it, December looks to be good for "decent releases": Expanse 2Discovery, the Witcher, ... anything you are looking forward too this month (other than a visit from Santa)?

You bunch of amateurs :-D . When my wife and I moved into our previous house, the moving company wanted to charge us a premium to move our books: over 200 boxes of them, at 25-40 books per box for a total somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000. Since then I've pared my collection way down. I'm down to about 1,000 and I only keep books that I'm sure I'll want to read again more than once. My wife unfortunately can't seem to do it. She uses all of the bookcases in the house, except for the nook off our kitchen where mine live.

I doubt they'd even notice the books. Parts of my house were built in 1872, 1892, and the early 1920's. The plaster in the oldest part of the house contains horse hair. I imagine the whole place is pretty flammable.

I am sitting on a balcony in Hawaii after watching the sun set. I have been looking forward to it for months. Does that count?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

The Expanse series is one of my all-time favorite series of books. For the most part I like how Amazon has put the story onscreen, though it's really puzzling why they killed off Alex. Like you, I don't like the idea of either the books or the Amazon series ending. Are you at all interested in Apple's attempt to film Asimov's Foundation series?

Not really: 'The Expanse' Star Accused of Sexual Assault[^] In the current climate, and given multiple accusations they had little choice but to drop him like a brick - and stroking him out was the simplest way as it just left editing a few scenes judiciously and some limited re-filming. Since the book series authors are executive producers on the TV series, they would have been consulted I suspect.

Yowsa. That explains a lot. Never saw that bit of news. Thanks

Do yourself a favor and buy yourself some Easton Press books. I've been collecting these for years. You're worth it. :-D
At those prices, I can't afford them! :omg:
