Amazon and the brown trucks. I even hold some stock in Amazon.
I had to get rid of several piles of magazines and about a thousand books
when we sold the house. I still have well over a thousand books in storage.
Every time I return to storage I have to off load books even after leaving
some along the way. I am dropping several off here on my son. I am a
voracious reader with a never satisfied sense of coursity.
