Know the feeling, Gary, but stacks are verboten. I need a smaller desk to hold computer, TV and detritus, and I need a table to spread out research projects. Have approximately 60 shelf feet of CW books, plus another 60 for others (fiction, other historical, and miscellaneous). Consolidating, compacting and adding shelves could conceivably add another 24 feet, but what's the point? If I read 2 books per week, I couldn't finish every CW book inside of 10 years.
Shane: Sorry the stove needed replacing. Hope that helps your meals, or maybe just makes the momma happy, which is equally important.
I'm not all that sure I have 10 years -- and I'm not counting books I intend to buy during that time. When I've finished, I'll send a PM.
