Whenever it comes time to move, I am confronted by the books. We have a lot of books. And books are very heavy. In fact, by volume, they are heavier than furniture. When I move, I put the books in boxes. There are three sizes of boxes at Home Depot or Walmart. A small box holds 40 pounds of books; a medium box holds 60 pounds of books. I don't put books in the large boxes because I can't lift them. Why not get rid of the books? After all, every book is now available on Google Play, or could be stored on an SD card the size of a corn flake. Today, I am reading "Educated" by Tara Westover. In her family, they stored food, fuel, and gold bullion to prepare for the end of civilization. I guess we're the same. When the apocalypse arrives and the internet goes dark, those with books will survive.
