There may be a science to moving, but it's primarily a spiritual experience, especially when it comes to addressing The Books. A friend and I were talking last night, and we both share kizzia's definition of bookshelves - they're memory boxes. Moving means sorting through all those memories at once and feels pretty overwhelming.Not to mention the overload of sorting through everything else we collect - my sympathies.
There is a wonderful web site called Paperbackswap that sort of a virtual bookshelf/store. You post a list of books you want to trade, and when someone orders one you get credit to order a new book yourself. Shipping is free. The books aren't really gone then, you see, just stored in an alternate universe.
