To forget is to forgive
After switching rooms with my brother, I had no place to store most of my books, so I decided to stack them up one after another on the floor. (My old shelf is the kind that you nail into the wall.)WOo, it's tall; almost my height, although that's not saying much, since I'm not that tall anyway; I've kept most of my books since first year, sold a few, and have some on my table top that I'm using right now. (The top 7 don't count as school texts :P)
Any estimates on how much this stack costs? ^^;
Given that publishers love churning out new editions (that are oftentimes just the same old edition with a newer cover and higher price tag), this stack's value is probably at the low hundreds. If I were to sell these all to the U of T bookstore, though, this stack's value would be in the low tens. -__-'' Cheap bastards (*shakes fist*)
I'll probably hold onto these books, though, cuz it makes me feel like I did a lot of something for the past 4 years. :)

wow, that stack makes you look keen ^^"
you should be more keen and stack the books in order of their thickness.
that's ok, jeff.
I wanted to sort them according to when I took them, and in alphabetical order (impulsive-compulsive, I know), but after shifting around all our furniture, I was too tired to care.
Oh geez look at PHY140 textbook >< Brings back bad memories... on the other hand, Joel on software looks like smth interesting to read. Maybe I can borrow that sometime? :D
I can spot an Oprah book a mile away...(Anna Karenina!) And I see some Biology textbook sitting way at the bottom of your pile. I guess you're never planning on perusing through that book any time soon.
My guess on the cost of the stack is...$2225?
Hehe, I like doing that too - feeling *accomplished* when I look at my pile of school books collected over the years.
Here are some links that I believe will be interested
Very pretty site! Keep working. thnx!
