Post Re: Collecting vs Hoarding

. . . does a house that is suppose to be a home, but whose interior resembles a library, brand me as a hoarder? . . .

Not until you make it on network TV (http://www.aetv.com/hoarders/)

Hi Mark

The key to private library vs a book hoarder is what is your largest single book acquisition? If it is a few boxes you are a private library, if you measure your acquisition in TONS then you might be a hoarder. Years ago I brought home a truck load 1 ton of books in a single trip, now I have a bigger truck.

But either way lining the exterior walls of your home with book cases is good insulation.

My wife is a librarian so if you guess we are closer to being ?????

Cheers Phil
