What to do with your old paper books

Here's an idea for your now superfluous physical books. Very clever artwork created from books!

Actually I used to rip up the big novels that I read: ie. War and Peace as I read them. I never liked carrying a huge book around. So, once read it was dead to me. Shocked some of my friends in Moscow, but hey now I do not have to with ebooks, plus I have War and Peace in ebook form compliments of PG.

The biggest reason I'm digitizing my books is I won't have room for them when I move into smaller digs (a travel trailer) in a year or two. Besides, I have to destroy the book to scan it so there isn't anything to keep except a pile of pages.

My paper books?

They are in my will.
They will be used to open the "Recluse Memorial Horror Library".
I have the building plans already.
Once construction is completed after my demise, all will be welcome.
Bring a shovel.
When you reach the door, knock.
If I don't answer, feel free to wait.

I like the ideaof Book crossings . Usually every so often I leave a bag of books outside on the garden wall . I will also donate to the local charity shop or give to friends . I hardly ever buy Pbk books now.
