I got my uncle's books today.
Edited on Sun May-22-05 11:09 PM by CubsFan1982
My uncle passed away last July and left me his collection of books. Well, today I got the first half - 200 books (!) - mostly on WWI and WWII, with some other American history subjects.

I think I'm in heaven. :D

1. I'll BET you're in heaven.
Sitting in the middle of the floor reading them because you couldn't wait until after you got them into the bookshelves, aren't you?

Enjoy.

5. I haven't looked through all of them yet.

Especially "The Gathering Storm". Just like what is happening today, except it is happening in our own country.
