Peak power voltage and I aren't friends.
Saying that suggests you are 8-).
I also like books just for being books, the feel and smell and all that. I managed to fit a few thousand of them in the living room; I like to have them in sight.
How many did you buy today?
I cannot ever remember living without books in my life. I buy more secondhand books now that I ever used to, many because people read a brand new novel and donate it before it has been out a full week. Thank you! I appreciate it!
A few thousand in your living room! Ohhhh! That is my kind of house. I had a dedicated library in my last house (moving is part of the job) and this house doesn't have one, but, I have a place to put one. But, I may be moving in less than a year, so I probably won't. Oh, maybe they will send me back to Holland or perhaps even Den Haag. I would be okay with that. I digress.
Books... Yes, how did you know I bought a few? I bought five, but only because they were calling my name! The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. A perspective of the Civil War from both sides. The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. I haven't read that since college. Anna Karenina and "One Hundred Years of Solitude* which I am starting tonight. I also scored The Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov.
