Stacks
The kind you find in libraries, which is what our dining room is looking like. We finally decided on which bookcases we liked (yet more trips to Ikea!), and none too soon. Adam's parents brought a load of books from their house, that Adam had collected in high school. It was interesting to see how many books we had in common, and how many we agreed were only good when we were in highschool. Those are going to join the millions of books in the Land of Used Book Stores. The others will join the hundreds of books in the Land of Thorne Book Sorting. Adam sorted books in the dining room. I sorted books in the spare room. Next we have to sort the books in the office, and then we'll sort the many, many books in the basement. Whew. Eventually, the bookshelves in the house will be full of the little paper friends that we have collected, and then we'll buy more. Then we will weep with the despair of the Bibliophile, "We need more bookcases!" [sigh]

which ones were only good in high school?
Piers Anthony and Robert Jordan were the ones that we both read, and then agreed they dwindled into bleh.
There were about a gazillion of the Piers Anthony books. When we drove up with them from Indiana, the rear bumper dragged on the pavement until we got out of the state. By then enough bumper had worn off to allow even sailing (and the mileage went from 14 to 36 mpg).
