I decided that, the dinning table, is gonna go. Instead, I want to put a book closet there since the book closet I have in the living room is too small (way too small). My neighbour will take the table and give it to someone else and I will make my own table soon enough (a decent sized table).
Today, I wanted to take it easy, because I have a nasty cold. I went to take 1 box with books and went through them, to see what to keep and if anything could go. I counted the books and placed them in a bag, because the box isn't too well anymore. The box had 54 books in it, 2 are gonna go and the rest stays.

There are at least 6 more of those boxes. Plus what doesn't fit in the other closet anymore, plus what is just laying around in the house. I will also get 7 more books in a few days.
I will need more book space soon. Very soon.

@Q t e a p o n: Yes I do. I'm currently rereading Harry Potter and plan to reread The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings after that.

@Q t e a p o n: I reread most of them. The select few who don't get reread, they're gonna go. There is a used bookstore nearby and I will try to trade those books for others.

@Q t e a p o n: the shop is only open on Saturdays, because the owner has a fulltime job somewhere else. She is a booknerd like me and she loves hunting for books. She also loves it that 'the younger generation' still loves books.

@Q t e a p o n: what you mean are ebooks. A lot of people prefer that, since it's easier to take with you and it takes up less space. I just prefer the feeling of a real book in my hands.

@Boris: the dining table is one huge, ugly thing. By size, it would be big enough for 8 people, but the foot of the table makes it impossible to have more than 4 at it. I will make a new table myself, smaller, but still big enough for 4.
I have 1 book closet in the livingroom and that is too small for all my books. It's already filled and I want to add more books. So I will add another book closet, a bigger one, where the dinning table is now.

@Boris: I will make photos of the table. Maybe I will also make a book closet myself later on.
@SirLionelNigelConrad: who says I don't already have digital books? And, as you can read in this thread, I prefer actual books.

@SirLionelNigelConrad: I already know how you like to give people food for thought. It always sounds like you are either trolling or that you are rude, just to be rude.
I'm not going to re-evaluate anything, just because you think it's 'causing problems'.

@SirLionelNigelConrad: I'm willing to listen to others, just not on the way you are saying it

@SirLionelNigelConrad: I'm going to drop this conversation with you now. Yes, I said I won't have enough space, but I can always make more space.
Also do me a favour and ignore me in the future. I will do the same.

@Boris: the one I will use soon came with the house. It's in the shed and it just stands there, with hardly anything in it.
There is also a drawer in there, but it will need some new paint before I'm going to use it. It's off white now, but they did a terrible job painting it.

@Boris: maybe. I just know that I will use it for my tv on top of it.

@Boris: I'm going to put the tv on the drawer. The cd player will end up next to it and, if it's big enough, the lp player.
I like fantasy, crime, horror, thrillers and that kind of work

@Boris: an lp player is like a cd player, but then for LP records/venyl.

And, as long as there are cd's, there will be cd players.

@Boris: ah ok.
I have at least 2 of them. One herein the livingroom, made somewhere in the 70's. I also found a bunch of old lp's today: Vera Lynn and Glenn Miller orchestra.

@Boris: as far as I can see, they are in an amazing condition. I'm planning to listen to them tomorrow, because I'm curious how they sound.

Lol. I am this way with clothes. I have two closets filled and three hampers that won't fit in the closets. Yet I continue to buy more clothes every week...

@Boris: I plan to keep them a bit longer
@blinkini: my clothes are free clothes. They don't go into a closet, but are spread around the house and in the shed (that is where they dry)

@Tuijp: That's how I was until recently. I'm trying to make my place look like a proper adult lives here, instead of a poor excuse for a human being. D:
It's a very slow process...

@blinkini: I know because I'm doing that too. My kitchen is almost done, just some dishes that have to be done. Then: the books.
