LSD is retained in fat cells. One never knows when it will kick in and make life "groovy" without warning. Opioid-based drugs also are retained in fat cells, but at least they have a half-life (a term that freaks me out when talking about radioactive substances such as MRI tracer fluids).
I'd love to post my book shelves, but it would take a dozen or so posts to avoid "waiting to load" problems. I think I can get rid of some of them now - like my VT-420 reference manual. It just seems that every time I get rid of something I have a need for it within a week.
The "return for cash" window at the college book store was a gold mine. If the book wasn't on the "buy back" list, people would usually just chuck them in the giant trash box next to the window. I was digging out some really good text books when some guy turned in his books for cash and said, "Hey, that's a keg for tomorrow night's party". So sad. I got more books from that box than I did for my classes, and on all kinds of subjects for which I didn't take classes.
And the sad thing about all of this is that I've given up on the traditional press. I finally published my first book on Kindle.
I've got a series I'm publishing under a pen name on Kindle as well. Book stores just seem to be full of crap by right-wing morons now. the computer section is dismal. I used to love going to book stores, but the only one left is Barnes & Nobel and it is more toys, video games, DVDs/BlueRay, and CDs now than books.
