I wish you’d been in the car boot sale business when we gave away our Argentina library 4 years ago!
One of Adri's friends' father died and she came over from Tampa to sell the house and do a clearance. Adri came away with boxes of books, maybe 200, so that's us done for a while.

When I cleaned out my house last year in Spain, I tried to give away 700 books.
No joy.
Six charity shops all told me the same story. No One wants books anymore.
Managed to bring 50 here to Escobar.

I used to be a member and regular visitor to my local library back in the UK. However I suspect the last time I read a book was over 25 years ago. I don't really miss it to be honest.

When I was single that was my daily bed time routine.....then the internet came along and that was the end of that.

I've tried eBooks/Kindle but it's just not the same as holding it in your hand, so to speak.

UK Man , can you go to sleep immediately after reading things on the internet? I find my brain wakes up. History books? Instant Ambien.
I'm usually knackered anyway. So yes, I can more or less get to sleep straight away even when the missus is watching telly. Staying asleep in the morning is my problem.
