Too close to home.
That’s a little high even for us. We have closer to 3000 print books that I haven’t read (with a slightly generous definition of “read”, given the proportion that are reference books). Plus several thousand more PDFs.
That’s nothing. Our local library must have more than 50000 books I haven’t read.
I thought it was National Pizza Day!
You be old.
I was that man…
And on the last day, my Kindle library will rise up in condemnation over me.
We do have more technical malacology references than every other library and private owner in the county combined, including the university library. Between our and my grandfather’s libraries, probably more than everyone else combined within 3 hours drive of here (the Research Triangle universities are the closest place that might top us).
I think we also have more bird guides than any one of the local libraries.
I got it too, just FYI.
And my mind goes wild, thinking about the technical aspects of protecting and preserving such a valuable assemblage of materials on the subject. Wow. Ya’ll may wish to consult with the preservation folks at some of the uni libraries in your area. If you haven’t already. Particularly if you have rare materials.
I must now look away.
I was reading something months, or maybe even years ago that was saying shortly after that event on the western interior seaway side of Appalachia and on the southern side near what would have been north Alabama and Tennessee there was a bipedal crocodilian species too.
I’ll have to look up what giant cephalopods was there though.
I remember once years ago there was one in Estes Park that resembled the top of a fleur de lis and it said “ONLY”.
