The great junk transfer is coming

I live out of a carry on bag mostly. My stuff is pretty minimal but the heaviest things I own are the books. I have some really weird old ones too, like one for learning german from 1939 and another on how to survive an atomic bomb from 1946. Just weird shit that's hard to find and hard to let go of.

I tend to like doing book trades though so it pays off on my travels.

Oh, I hate moving my books. And they'd fit on a 8 meter shelf.

at one point I was moving a stack of books and realized I'm essentially moving thinly sheared off logs around. It was quite a visual to imagine me moving stumps of logs around the size of small UHaul boxes. That's essentially what that quantity of books felt like when divvied out into small cardboard boxes to push the load into bite sized chunks.
