Redundancy

We just finished unpacking our 12 boxes of books and clothes and put the books into some semblance of order on our wooden red JC Penney bookcases.  Brad and I both shipped hardback copies of books from Boulder that were already on the shelves here.  Oops.  I discovered my duplicate first, The Devil that Danced on the Water by Aminatta Forna.  I felt silly for paying to ship a book here that I already had, and then we discovered Brad’s duplicate, Platform Leadership: How Intel, Microsoft, and Cisco Drive Industry Innovation.  I guess when we want to read a book, we really want to, even if it takes two copies and almost a year of waiting in the Unread Books bookcase.
