A dilemma with books…

I have a lot of books. Not nearly as many as I used to have, but still, quite a lot. This is usually a great thing. I have a really nice library. Especially when it comes to Krishna conscious literature.

The problem is moving. I can’t move with ALL of these books. I’d like to sell them all, but I know I can’t do that. Especially the Krishna conscious ones.

So what do I do? I don’t know. I have most of the Prabhupada books on Vedabase (a searchable computor database), but having them in book form is quite nice. But necessary? Probably not.

I have a sentimental attachment to them. Majorly. So if I’d get rid of them, they’d have to go to someone who would be even more sentimentally attached to them. Or to a Vedic library, etc. But the sentimental angle is a real kicker for me.

I have pretty much everything ever published by BBT (that Prabhupada wrote). Srimad Bhagavatam, CC, everything.
What do I do? Help!

Check out some of the Books For Prisoners programs – they are always looking for non-Christian religious texts (they get enough Christian donations i believe) and most of the programs send them free of charge to prisoners.

Moving west, yep. Hopefully by the end of the Summer, unless I can travel for longer. Santa Rosa, California would be nice. But we’ll see.

The books for prisoners.. yes! I totally forgot about them. I’ll look into that. Thanks!
