ROFL at the idea of you knowing the first 10 pages of Pride and Prejudice by heart.
And yes, there is a book. Or set of books. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (all five books in the increasingly inaccurately named trilogy). I am actually not sure of having read the 5th book. Also I am missing one of the first three. I would routinely give my volumes away to anyone who hadn't read them, and I forgot to replace this one before I left.
Might also be cool to re-read some Vonnegut. If I didn't give that away, sigh.
Same problem in both cases. All my books are in sealed boxes in piles in the garage.
Along with the rest of my life. They, like me, have been "on ice" for the past 15 years, except for a short parenthesis when I lived on my own and unpacked everything. It isn't just a matter of unpacking now. We really haven't the room for me to unpack my life into the apartment.
I will think about strategies to "fish out" one or two books. We do need to move things about in the garage as we will have to hire some loaders to haul away some things too large for the trash can. (dead fans, computers, etc). Or not. I have so much stuff lying around, I'm not sure adding to it is a good idea. I need to declutter.
And perhaps find some things I can throw out.
