Ah, enlightenment!...and lost collection

Yesterday I got the book I ordered weeks ago. "Dao De Jing, the new, highly readable translation of the life-changing ancient scripture formerly known as the Tao Te Ching". I intend to read it in 2 months when I leave for Canada. I have a feeling that if I start reading today, I may want to leave earlier than planned.

Now I said goodbye to my hard/soft cover books. Nina will be selling my entire collection to raise her ebay feedback. Since I won't be able to take them with me, I've reluctantly agreed for her to practically give them away...at 1 cent each. I used to read books, but to do that, peace and quiet is required (at least for me)...impossible in this house.

Now it's not a handful of books, but a decent collections, that can easily fill a couple of shelves.
