What I saw next stopped me dead in my tracks. Books. Not just one or two dozen, but hundreds of them. In crates. In piles on the floor. In bookcases that stretched from floor to ceiling and lined the entire room. I turned around and around in a slow circle, feeling as if I'd just stumbled into Ali Baba's cave. I was breathless, close to tears, and positively dizzy with greed.

books good; sorting... not so much
i'd rather read than sort :P lol
I dunno . . . sorting books is a kind of dreamy endeavor for me. I like it.
20-30, ok... 20,000 - 30,000 NAH!
