4. Having to move a mountain like that

… nudged me toward eBooks. Once you have to hoist 140 boxes of books around you rarely even read more than once, it becomes easier to let go. I love books but I can have 10 times as many in my damned eReader and the only increase in weight is my guilt for not being able to read them all (because I’m too busy downloading new ones). Not that I’ve followed through by finding homes for the ones I’ll never read again...

The daily freebie book emails are my love—and my nemesis.
