I LOVE books! I like to read them. I like to have them site on my shelf and look pretty. I love books.
Yesterday a group had a book sale. It was a fundraiser, where all of the proceeds would go to the winner of the "Outstanding Student Award" given by the Alumni Association. There were over 1,000 books on sale. All of the books were donated by one professor. What's crazy about this, besides the fact that one guy has over 1,000 books available to donate, is that he only donated the books that were in his attic because they couldn't fit in his library. THE MAN HAS A LIBRARY!
How many books do you need to have before you can call something a library? How does one person collect that many books? How many books do you have to have to donate over 1,000 without blinking?
This man amazies me.
I, of course, bought some books. I purchased 7 books for $8. Each paperback was $1 (5 for $4) and each hardcover was $3. (Can you figure out how many paperbacks and hardcovers I bought?) The 7 books includded:
Michangelo and the Pope's Ceiling
Journey to Portugal
Lost Cities and Ancient Mysteries of South America
The Complete Writings of Thucydides
Chocolat
The Creators
The Chrysanthemum and the Sword

You'd have to buy six paperbacks and a hardcover. At least I can't think of any other combination that works.
$4 (for the five) + $1 (for the extra paperback) + $3 (for the hardcover) = $8 (and seven books).
