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.

I separate out excellent books I reread every year or so. These I treasure.

Not all books are good, so

…if I give away 200 books and decide I now want to reread 3 of them, they are readily accessible… and better than heating and cooling all 200 books for life… and leaving a mess for my family when I’m gone.

I’m down from three rooms to one room of books!
