I need boxes. The kind used for moving. Does anyone have any boxes lying around at home?

I too have a couple of boxes, and they'll probably be better than Cati's

Ah, I was wondering what had got you smited. Anyways, I also have a lot of books that will need to be stored somewhere or thrown into the recesses of a charity store. Screw that. Anyone want to hold on to some books for me? You could, like, read them and everything (but not draw or scribble in them).
I'll be needing these held onto by willing volunteers with SPACE: -) Complete Terry Pratchett collection (that's a lot of books, some of them are hardbacks) -) Course books from four years of English (not as bad as it sounds; I own 2% of the books they wanted us to read). -) Social Science Textbooks, that includes Psychology, sociology, politics, other stuff. You can keep these. -) Other general books.
There's about 400 books lying around in here belonging to me, my sister, or people we've borrowed these things from and then never seen again. I'd rather not part with such titles as the 'Teenage Mutant Turtles Party-Time Joke-Book' but I think they can go to a charity store to languish. As for the rest...HEEEELP.

While you're sorting all those out, perhaps you could find it in your heart (or the anti-matter that suffices as one) to find and return that Stover book of mine. Just a suggestion.
...
I could also take some other books off your hands. My brother has plenty of shelf space and I should totally try and get him into Pratchett.

The Guild could use them as a library! Although, I have no room in my house...

I can keep a bunch of books for you, we've got some shelf space and plenty cupboard space. Plus we read a lot...

I have in my flat a corner that I was going to allow Heather to live in so she could watch all the Studio Gibli forevermore, but it sounds like storing books would be a more worthy cause... I could store a couple of boxes under our table in the corner. I could even supply my own boxes And I'd gladly store a Terry Pratchett library anyday, there's still some I haven't read here & there.

Sounds like the Pratchetts are in demand. Your bro probably won't read the damn things, Cati, he seems more into Glee *sigh* like the rest of his hopeless generation. And you'll get your Stover book. After my mum found it, she tactically took me to a bookstore to find something to read. It was to 'stop me going weird', I think were her exact words. The irony is I haven't even read it.
A library sounds like a good idea. Might be better if Heather takes them as she's part of that society and has the space. Otherwise Tom's welcome to them to fill in the blanks. Seriously, we're talking near every book ('cept most recent prints) including some of the more obscure ones like 'The Last Hero' (a big old thing like a picture book).
The rest is a lot of general books. There's Blyton, Pullman, classics, Dahl, Mossflower (freaky 'kids' book about heroic arthurian heroic mice folk. And the horrible and senseless ways in which heroic arthurian mice folk can die. Like when the mouse abbot got brained in passing by a sudden thief using a bag of loot. I mean, seriously, it comes from nowhere after all this other horrible nightmare-fuel death and you're thinking that there can be no more and then that happens, just to remind you that death is not so much round every corner as charging up the corridor toward you with a battle-axe while yelling its war-cry. And the big bad guy gets trapped under a bell. And they just leave him there to presumable starve/suffocate to death. While praying to God in the same building.), and others both known and unknown.
But yeah, we'll sort it all out tomorrow.

A REDWALL BOOK? I will totally take that one. I was so depressed the day Brian Jacques died, it would have been like my childhood had died with him if it hadn't already when Attack of the Clones was released.

I can't believe I'm hearing this Tom, you're casting me aside for some BOOKS? ........... yeah, I'd do the same to you. No problem, I can take however many's convenient. And my flat's more awesome than Tom, so you know.

I did mean that it's more awesome than Tom.
(In the same way that Tom's hat is more awesome than Tom. Tom's flat has a place of awesome all to itself.)
