I have about a dozen books, I’ve read about half of them. Before I moved here I had hundreds of books. Many of them research books on symbols, ancient art, and goddesses. Those I hadn’t read so much as perused. Many languages books about the English language and collections of old English poems and short stories. Those are the books I’m really missing. I had hundreds of well read fiction, mystery, thriller and sci- fi. All of it gone because I moved into a tiny place. I have very little room here for books. I now mostly read from the library and use google. Which is ok but not the same.
Have you had to downsize?
