Yesterday was a clean the house day. My wife suggested I take the time to clean up my collecting room in addition to bringing the rest up from the basement. At first I thought she was kidding; really, send me to my play room for the day while she and the kids clean the rest of the house!
One brisk slap to the face later the realization of her intentions sunk in. She wanted her basement back, which meant I was forced to suffer playing with Megos and comics all day.
Enough is enough already! After an eternity of trips up the stairs resulting in the compelling need for my knee brace, the idea of too much struck me, so I started to count. At best guess I have over 50k issues. There is no feasible way they are all fitting into my 10'x12' collecting room with the Megos. The final count of books compacted in that tiny room with the toys was over 15k, leaving 35k in the basement, much to my wife's dissatisfaction.
So fellow Megoheads and comicbuffs I raise this question: what is the magical number of books that cause you to draw the line and downsize?
