putting books in boxes

Packing up my books.

So many books too pack.  I’m sort of awed at the amount I’m accumulated in the past six years.  I’ve been able to weed out some but there’s a lot I can’t part with-my copies of the Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia and His Dark Materials series, Angela Carter, Lovecraft, Maurice Sendak, stuff on women artists and Japanese pop art, graphic novels, manga.  Actually far too much I can’t part with.

Because my father will be helping me load all the boxes of books that I’ve been packing I’ve been trying to arrange things tastefully in such a way as to avoid potential awkwardness.  For example I’ve been careful not to put anything like my copy of The Joys of Gay Sex where it’s too readily apparent.  There are some things you just don’t want your Reverend Daddy knowing about you. 

books, family
