Did you know that non-fiction is denser than fiction?

I am moving next weekend, but since I'll be busy next week, I already started packing. I've packed up most of my books today. I found out that small size moving boxes was the answer - usually I've just spread a thin layer of books in all my moving boxes, but this time I got the feeling there'd be too few boxes all in all if I did that. I've been going through my things and it's been a pleasant surprise to discover that I don't own as much "stuff" as I feared. Only books....

Anyway, I can fill a box with fiction books, and it'll be heavy, but not unmanageably heavy. With non-fiction, I've had to stop when it's filled about 2/3-3/4. And it's not that my fiction books are all small, light-weight, mass-market paperbacks - most of them are not - but non-fiction books are apparently overall denser and thus heavier. And I've got perhaps 2/3 non-fiction to 1/3 part fiction books.

I can't wait till this is over.
