Last night I finished another Clive Cussler novel, something I would not have read if my wife and son had not bought me one of his books for Christmas a few years ago. Now I’m on a quest to read all of his books. But at the same time I want to make sure that I read other material too, not just novels.
Our house is small, and mostly filled with books. Books everywhere, four very large book cases, all full, full to the point that we have started stacking in front of the books already in on the shelves. End tables in the living room contain book even new books we need to find a place for. Dining table chair has a pile of books recently pick out at the library. My son’s reading chair has a pile of books. Our school room has a spare bed and a bookshelf for a headboard, it is full of books. My wife has a small pile next to the bed along with an old end table that her granddad had that is full of books. There is even a book in our bathroom. Not all the books are books we have read, some waiting to be read, and they surely will. Some day I hope to have room just for all our books. Will be the size of a barn, the way things are going.
Now I face the challenge that comes with finishing a great book. Picking the next book to read, I have plenty to choose from. We can never seem to pass by a book store or thrift store without a quick look at the books, the other day I found a place and came home with eight books for seven dollars. I love a bargain!
When it comes to the next book, it’s a matter of which category do I choose from. Right now I’m thinking history . . . now, where is that book about letters home from WWII?

My wife and I like to read, we haven't much in the past few years since the kids have been born. But I recently had to relocate all the books from the living room to boxes because the kids kept pulling them from the shelves. I figured the best way to avoid the constant pick up is to just put them away. Those shelves now house stuffed animals.
