Is That You?

Despite how many book I have, I have never had to resort to putting them in the bathtub. Seems fraught with risk...

The most terrible risk

How sad that you can never have a bath

I wash myself in knowledge, and rinse with poetry. My body may stink a little, but my opinions do not.

So long as your happy, a little stink dont make no never mind

Love it!
And the "living dangerously" one!

I think the original question was really more about who has enough books that they could fill a bathtub - if necessary.
I'm not sure in what sort of situation that would actually be expedient... for reasons already elucidated, but... hey!

If I piled up my library, it would fill and overtop a four-by-six shower stall. Unlike WF, I have no intention of going through a reshelving nightmare just to illustrate the point.

Right? That's what volume calculations are for.
To be able to prove ones point, mostly..

Oh dear how did you interpret the question thus Linna .. you really are a genius .. lol seriously.

I just thought it were a silly question about who doesnt bathe ever at all .. so why not use the bath as a book repository



But as far as volume goes, now that I have tossed all my law books, I could probably only fill maybe 2 or possibly 3 bathtubs .. but I wouldnt have anywhere near enough to spill over a 4 by 6 shower stall ..

Thats a lot of books SD

I have made some effort to down size .. with the exception of the law and a great many religious books, I find it difficult to part with books generally.

But those I will never use again .. hold no sway on me at all.

The humdrum-mundane side of the affair if I may say so; what I ask do you soak yourself in?

Tequila!

And why not - it's as good an answer to life's vicissitudes as any!

... and better than most! Tub full of books already pays off.
