Did you know you can fit 54 books in one of those large Rubbermaid containers?
I've been trying to clear some space in our little basement suite by packing some of my "haven't read this one for a while" books into boxes. Well, a box... So far I've only gotten one. The only problem with packing books into boxes is that they are less accessible in a box than they are on a shelf - conversely, the only problem with having books on a shelf is that they take up so much wall-space!
Anyhow, not wanting to lose track of these "books I haven't read for a while" that are packed away in Box 1, I've just entered them all into LibraryThing (at www.librarything.com). And, since it's so sad that these books have to languish away in a box, and simultaneously so cool to be able to list a random selection using a LibraryThing widget, I offer here a random selection of the books now stowed away in Box 1 (at least those that have cover pictures in LibraryThing):

Oooooo... I'm going to have to sign up for that, once we move into our next place and unpack all our boxes (and boxes and boxes...) of books.
Yes, but can you lift the rubbermaid box when you're done? :P
I suppose that depends on the size of the books. For example: are these text books or novels? are they instructional manuals or anthologies? It really does matter! As I am myself about to pack up a large number of books for moving, i'll see how many i can get into a general sized box... and will post it here for reference :)
