Settling on land

I've been so busy with moving and unpacking that I neglected to post the following photo of the neighbors' houseboat that was decorated for Halloween:

From Houseboat

I've now lived on land for a few days and though I miss the scenery and easy commute, I really like my full (grown-up sized) kitchen and worry-free toilet. I also love the feeling of warmth and solidity of living on land.

One thing that I did take from houseboat living is the need to live with fewer things. I have been purging stuff and it has been relatively easy so far. However, I haven't gotten to my books yet. Purging books is always really hard for me. Would anybody out there like a contribution to your library?
