Tonight I give my notice to the landlord at my basement apt (3 months) as I will be moving in with my gf in April.

Both exciting AND scary.

Does she know you will arrive with your TRP in sixteen fridge size boxes of books?

Oh indeed. We discussed just where the heck all my bookshelves will go last night, and it went a bit like this:

Her: You can put your bookshelves in the office and spare room.

Me: You're aware I have four big bookshelves and I actually need a fifth right?

Her: What?

Me: Yep.

Her: Where are you going to fit FIVE bookshelves?!

Me: *Shrugs*

Her: *scowls*

Me: We'll find the space, not to worry.

Here: *skeptical*

Me (in my head): Where the fuck am I going to put all my books?!

Time to PURGE.

I had to do this not too long ago... it amounted to eliminating a massive stack of books i was keeping against the possibility i thought i might want to read them again some day... i rationalized it as that's what libraries are for. I kept the classics (ie: the BELGARIAD) and the books i had already reread and KNEW i would read again (all things Malazan, Dresden, Caine...) plus the always massive TRP. Everything else (five stupidly heavy boxes) went to a local struggling 2nd hand book store with an awesome sf/fant section. And now i have all this space to fill again. At least.... i did...

No. Time to BUY MORE BOOKSHELVES!!!

I have 8 and they are full. I need 1-2 more just to cope with what I have double-stacked, plus a little room for future expansion.

These are all 1.8-2 metre tall bookshelves, varying between 60cm and 1.2m wide. All up it's about 6-7 metres in wall space.

I have a problem ...

I was thinking this as well, though I have a feeling I'll not get rid of much. One day I want to have a big library and I'll need stock when that happens. That said, tonight I'll likely go through and ditch what can absolutely go (I'm sure I've got 20 or 30 titles I don't really need to keep). It's going to be a hard process, but I got used to purging DVD's a few years back and that was decidedly cathartic.

I have a few i waver on... WoT in particular takes up a massive chunk of space and i can't quite decide whether i'll ever reread it from the start. Same goes for everything Gemmell. But hey, there are worse problems than to have to downsize in order to move in with your gf.

Just accept that you'll be doing two purges... one pre-move and one during/after. Also, accept that you cannot dress yourself, nor do you have any interior decor sense whatsoever, and you'll be just fine.

The very MINUTE they announce that they are re-releasing them with new covers (hopefully due to Sweet's untimely death and Whelan's hiring for AMOL cover art) I will ditch the existing ones...which thinking about it doesn't solve their space on my shelf problem...

ah nevermind...my brain is not functioning today.

I think I'll ditch stuff like Naomi Novik's Temeraire series (since it went absolutely nowhere after book 3 and I'll never re-read it) and those cheesy tomb-raider-esque Anna-whatever her name is novels I bought a few of. I keep trying to find the optimal way to display them on shelf (currently by Series), but even on that I find myself lost in the clutter. I really need to streamline.

Give those books to your gf as a present, so that they're her problem.

I put about 30 book in bags last night to take to the used book store. So that's something.

I also cleared out a bunch of crap I'll never use again (3 big black garbage bags worth), took apart two shelving units that won't be joining me at the new place and dismantled my kitchen table (I don't use it to eat at currently anyways). It's starting to feel like I'll be moving.

First day back at work today and it wasn't nearly as craptastic as I feared it would be. Yes, it was busy but not nuts and I wasn't once tempted to ram my pen in someone's orifice (pick an orifice). If the rest of the week follows suit, I'll chalk it up as a good one indeed.

Actually got asked by management if I wanted to get moved to the new design project... everyone else has been told they where getting moved, I was asked. And then when I had my one on one with the director of the new project he actually asked me which section I wanted to work on and it looks like I'll get my first choice.
