Even at a book a day, that would be roughly 2,200 days or a bit over 6 years. Yes I did the sums, it's scary. I generally go for 150 books a year to read. I'm 79% of the way to that goal according to Goodreads.
@@TheDustedGameShelf That is excellent of you! I am happy if I get one book done every 2-4 weeks. I love fiction, but I usually read non-fiction in recent years. Mostly on worldviews, politics, philosophy, ethics, and whatnot. Admittedly, my reading has really dropped off in the past several years, but prior to that, I was doing better. (I read on a computer a lot for my job...so that's my excuse at times.)
The Twilight Zone episode "Time Enough at Last" comes to mind. Story of a man who loves reading so much that it jeopardizes his job and marriage. He survives a nuclear was about to kill himself when he sees the books from the local library have survived and are his for the taking. Also no job or wife to worry about. He then accidentally drops and breaks his glasses and cannot read without them!
All shelf in the basement. Crawl space with lots of the same type of boxes you use. My kids for some reason have taken over the office/ my bedroom. My wife has stacks all around the house.
Suggestion to anyone storing books, or anything else, in cardboard boxes. Invest in plastic totes before its to late!!!!! Ive lost a small fortune in record albums, comics, magazines, and books that got wet after a very heavy rain!!!!
First: nine bookcases of varying heights due to window or the TV on the wall, plus one tall bookcase thats half books n three clothes drawers. There's an entertainment center but half is blocked by my gaming table but they weren't very decent spaces for storing books or my games (320). My best books, my favorite books are spread out through the shelves with all my games. In some cases the books are stacked two deep so you can't really see what's in back row though some authors have enough for titles for that front n back rows. Sci-fi. Sci-fan. History. Lots WWII. Alistair McLean novels. Maybe have 3/5 of his works. I had done booklist on phone of which books were in which large plastic bins, when they were in my garage, until my room (old dining room) got set up. Unfortunately, the phone stopped talking to the printer and wouldn't talk mostly to my laptop. So I've been in the process of recreating my list by author in my laptop. Some are pasted together. Some are typed out. I've got most of them updated so as I look at it I can see my list for whoever like the honor Harrison series et all. Needs some reprinting.
Sent that before I was ready. Fat fingers again. Charles. Long-term plan is to make sure the new Excel file in the laptop is clean. No patched up stuff from PDFs or from the phone. All clean typed each tab as one author or sometimes too if I don't have a lot. Thanks for reminding me. I haven't been getting this cleaned up. Once the spreadsheets are designated as clean and perfect by the author, I need to go through all the bookcases and make sure the books are all there.
If I could, I'd use an entire year of my life just to read a collection of books like this. 📖

@@TheDustedGameShelf Well, you are exceptional. 🌠That would be a big goal for anyone.

I remember this episode! It stuck with me.

Basements aren't greatly built in Australia, if they did they'd be indoor pools with our climate.
@@TheDustedGameShelf That could be your next project.
