Created Marc - well I thought he just materialised one day and we haven't been able to do anything with him - except get him to host all these loverly parties ....

If you create something, can you uncreate that thing again too?

And wayrad, I think you're stuck with those paper books...

Uncreation is not allowed, it would seriously disturb the natural order of reality.

I don't know, seems like for me to give them away would have the same problems as selling them, from the copyright standpoint. And, as stated in my first post, I can't really stand the idea of destroying perfectly good books. But those seem to be the only alternatives to sitting on them forever.

PS. I never had all these moral dilemmas before I started hanging out here. Darn you, Mobileread!
well, your strong sense of morality does you credit, but honestly, if i were you, i would donate them so that someone else can enjoy them and you can free up some space, and i wouldn't lose any sleep over it. that is what i am doing, with the old classics i'm replacing by ebooks. i give away the paper copies. i'm like you ; i can't bear to throw away or destroy a book, but i have GOT to get them out of my appartment. it's not like you're making a million copies and handing them out in the street ! i think it's worse to destroy the books.

Or buy a bigger house (is what I did) so you can keep all your books and add even more to your library!

beleive me, i WISH i could do that instead !!!!




note to self : remember to buy loto ticket. then remember to *win* loto, so you can afford to buy a bigger house. or even a small house. or any house at all. well, really an appartment would suit me best. a big appartment. so, to sum up : loto. win it. buy appartment.

But my house will be so empty then... Besides, it will look cool to have my own library. It will create exactly the right atmosphere for those lazy chairs I plan to plant there, and those two hammocks that will also be available there.

I keep requisitioning a hammock for my cubicle, but they keep denying the purchase.
