Wow, am I a book nerd. I love to read them, smell them, hoard them.
I've tried to stop my pack-rat nature with regards to books, but it
never works. I usually purchase books that I'll either reference in the
future, or I buy books I like so much that I don't want to get rid of
them. Books in a series? All that much better. Not only do you get to
purchase more than one book, but you get to display them on your
inadequate bookshelves as trophies that you "finished the series!"

Yes, I'm a book nerd. It's a good thing that Meghan is as well. ;-)
I'm not the only one who dreams of large built-in hardwood shelves
filled with worn out novels, elevator counter-weight sized text and
reference books, and reams of photo albumns.

Pitiful, huh? Well, at least it's not as bad as collecting rusty old
cars out in the back yard.
