—> My wife and I love to read, but it’s hard keeping the thousands of books shelved and organized.

Every year I go through our books and select out ones I don’t see myself rereading, then donate them.

Boxes and boxes and boxes.

We cull some from time to time, but it’s hard. That I don’t want to reread a book now doesn’t mean that I never will. At 68, though, I probably won’t live long enough to reread everything I might want to, let alone reading new books. Oh, well.

Which is why I broke down, first with Nook and then Kindle and Audible, and reduced the hardback and paperback purchases by 70%. I love the real book, book stores are like cocaine to my wife and I, but I had to start using electronic versions due to the physical volume.

I did that a few years ago when I realized that some books just kept getting pushed to the back of teh stacks. And then some of the them, the printing *inexplicably* shrank a bit.

Some of the older titles, I found free ebook copies online and downloaded those instead.

Sadly, I have over 100 Doc Savage books I haven't read yet despite owning them since the 80s -- mostly because I'm trying to get rid of books that I read and I don't want to get rid of them.
