Don, I feel I should extend condolances! It seems we are living parallel 
lives.
My 'little library' has been biding time in three separate storage spaces for 
the
past 2-3 years, about an hour and a half away. And once in a while, guilt 
taps me
on the shoulder to remind me of those that I put down at some point or other,
meaning - quite sincerely - to finish them "later". I think, though, that I 
would
rent yet another space before I'd give up even one volume - even the outdated
ones...they are all old friends, and just as precious!
