They're a book that's quick to close
"Vicarious Snow for Gwynne Garfinkle" sounds like a jazz improv or possibly experimental electronica. Taken earlier this evening, shortly after the snow began. Being able to stand on a front porch is an exciting experience. I am still considering how it compares to a back deck.
Beginning late in the afternoon, I unpacked and shelved all of the plays, poetry, biographies and memoirs, and assorted nonfiction—currently sorted into performing arts and literature, science and philosophy, sociopolitics and wars, and literature of place and time—that came with me from the old apartment. Further volumes are still in storage. The Judaica is its own section and will require more shelves, as will the classics. Being able to unpack all of the fiction will also require more shelves, ideally not another apartment. It all used to fit into a one-bedroom, but I cared about fewer things then.

Thank you!
Getting books out and shelved is a good feeling.
My library was not intended to be in storage for eight years, but our last apartment was much worse for bookshelves than expected and we were there for longer than planned.
I fight an ongoing running battle between books and shelf space. For some reason I find the nonfiction harder to get rid of than the fiction, even though the fiction speaks to me more. But all that knowledge!
I have not yet gotten to unpacking the fiction! It will be interesting to see how I feel about all of it. I traditionally hang on to books on general principle of never knowing what I will need.
