I posted this on vox as well, but here is all the books I have left in my apartment since Ben took most of them to Florida yesterday. Kinda sad, huh? And I'm sorry that it is so big. The new photobucket reszing feature does not appear to work for me. It says it is a new size, but it all looks the same on here...

He took all your books? Seems unfair. Your little collection is beautiful even if it is reduced.

At least you'll son be reunited with Ben, Gatsby and all your books. If you want to read a new book and you don't have any, it gives you the excuse to buy one.

thats very true, you have the perfect excuse to buy a new book or two. keeping the books with ben, might be making him feel better about not having you with him yet, every time he notices the books, he will think of you. think of the moment when you arrive to the apartment to see ben, gatsby and all the books! you will be delighted.

I think buying new books would defeat the purpose of him taking a car load of stuff back with him.

Well more books would keep him busy... lol. I think I could very easily pack up most of my books if I could keep like 10 of my favorites. But lately I've been having this mad itch for something new to read....

A bit sad but at least you know where all your books are and donĀ“t have to waste reading time looking for them

Sadly all of my books are in boxes!! I miss my shelves. I'm living in a college dorm right now, so I don't have space for all of them.... although I have considered getting rid of non-essential things (like the refrigerator) to make room for them.

I would argue that a fridge in a dorm is very necessary. Unless you're living in a suite and there's a big fridge in the common room or something....
My books are temporarily in boxes because I'm moving but I left the 3 that I plan on reading next in case I don't have time to unpack them

I was only kidding about the fridge, but I do want my books back.

I'll post mine when I get more books. I should clean and reorganize them too.
