See now, (shaking head) I was just the opposite. I used to break out in a cold sweat at the thought of being stuck at home during a blizzard/tornado/hailstorm or bad case of the flu without enough books. I am pretty sure that between what's on my 8 GB SD card in my Kindle 1, what's archived at Amazon and what's saved on my external hard drive, I have more Ebooks than the small town libraries I grew up near had DTB. I remember my 5th grade teacher wailing that I read on a college level and she had no appropriate books for me.
I use LibraryThing to keep track of what I have read, what I thought of it and who I want to read more of. They seem to suggest good books and I get 3 or 4 a month for review so I find new authors that way.
