Nope, not to me. But you ask around long enough... especially in this particular year of plains flooding, and going back to Katrina... and you'll hear of plenty of people whose book collections ended up doing double-duty as flood-sponges, as well as being rendered untouchable afterward thanks to the toxic materials in that floodwater (refuse, feces, etc) that they soaked right up.

59. Breeding ground for mold, dust mites, etc.

61. A place to hide important things like IRS refund checks until they are stale dated or old love letters until the wife finds them. But they should be safe forever as no one reads pbooks any more.
