I think it is fair to say most of us have a lot of books. I know it is fair to say no one likes moving with them. When I moved all my books from my mom's attic to my house (about half my collection), I could not walk for two days after.
But, which books take the prize for the worst to move? My heaviest is Larousse Gastronomique. If I didn't know better, I would say it was made of lead. So, what other weighty tomes (ha ha) are out there? And, why do the best books break your back?
