I do know what you mean, I have lots of books in long boxes waiting to be sorted into my cabinets ( I will never do this ) when looking for a certain book to scan for these threads, I was surprised at how seeing some books affected me, seeing them for the first time in years, I mean I knew I had them but knowing and seeing are two different things
The only things I read these days are GA/AA books as I get them ( which isn't very often )
However lately I have a major urge to find and read my old Treasury Editions, I loved this format when I was a kid, @batmiesta just put up #4 Conan Treasury for sale, that is one of the best reads ever for me, I need to go digging
