It would be better than lugging some books.

I wonder if they think I'm weird. I don't have an e-reader yet, I have to many books waiting to be read on my bookshelves, I can't justify my buying one right now, but I'm sure...one of these days I will break and give in. And really I am old enough to be a Dinosaur.

In most homes I go into I find more things like CDs and DVDs on display and I enjoy those as much as seeing books. The visiblity serves much the same purpose as you have cited in your post. Very good post by the way.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-44024906990540757222011-08-15T11:52:37.152-04:002011-08-15T11:52:37.152-04:00Beautiful spines neatly lined up?
