Recent days mark the date this monumental task
of uninstalling a mold-ridden carpet from a wa-
ter damaged basement began. The space was prom-
inently once called a library, but as weather
problems like storms plodded the coast, the li-
brary has suffered a punishing decline. This
place is now to be called home; so, it must be
cleaned. Moving into this new location, and re-
moving the old rutty carpet was a significant
pretext for going through the complete, entire
books collection that remains in boxes unclass-
ified. Many books have been discovered in the
previous days. Half of the carpet has painstak-
ingly been removed, and the remains are left in
the back of the basement, folded, later to take
as an in-kind contribution to the dump-location.
A recurring theme of this has been to put books
aside related to The Science.
After visiting Google to see if any interesting
highlights of which might pique your particular
tastes and desires to read, too, here is a list
of some of these that have appeared: The Eclectic Reader Series (http://books.google.com/books?id=_CzQAAAAMAAJ&dq=eclectic%20reader&as_brr=1&pg=PA11) [first-sixth] by William Holmes McGuffrey
In Starry Realms (http://books.google.com/books?id=JBJDAAAAIAAJ&dq=in%20starry%20realms&pg=PP7) by Robert Stawell Ball

Wood's Natural History (http://books.google.com/books?id=i0UaAAAAYAAJ&dq=wood%27s%20natural%20history&lr=&as_brr=1&pg=PA92) by John George Wood
The American Language (http://books.google.com/books?id=XbZIAAAAMAAJ&dq=the%20american%20language&pg=RA1-PA1) by Henry Louis Mencken

means necessary to read are:Ecology in Ancient Civilizations by J. Donald Huges

That is very interesting indeed. Are you going
to write a book review for any of those any time
soon?

Especially "A Passion for Books." It sounds like
a book very suitable for people who have a pas-
sion for books. Why else would someone read a
book like that if they didn't have passions for
books to begin with? Totally intriguing.
