Me, too! Books overflow in my home. One of my first dreams, as a child, was to grow up and have my very, own library. Books were my first love, and remain so. When I was about 6 years old, my mother took me to the neighborhood, and helped me to get my first library card. I was more excited, and thrilled with that, than my first driver's license. The library was only a block away, on the same street where we lived. I was allowed to go by myself, and check out whatever I wanted. Before that, my mother read to me daily.
Now, I periodically go through my own library, and weed out books to give to the local library. Doing that always involves a lot of difficult decisions. I told my grandson that he will inheirit my books. One Christmas when he was about 5, his first opened gift was a picture dictionary for children. Well, he crawled up in a chair and began to "read" it. He was not at all interested in the other gifts. We all felt thrilled to watch him.
I love my Kindle, too. With already over 200 books. What a gift, to be able to chose a book that I am in the mood to read. Right at my fingertips. I can easily carry all of them with me. It is light weight, and the size of the font can be enlarged. Amazon has great service, too. Just a phone call away. IF I end up in an assissted living facility, in a small room, my Kindle, and it's contents will fit.
