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.
It’s a tough problem.
Finally realized that I didn’t *have* to feel guilty about not reading all of the books in my library, any more that I feel I need to eat all the food in our refrigerator. Sometimes we end up getting rid of some food that goes bad. Same with books.
So...
We will either do it now and make our kids lives easier now or we’ll stick them with the task.
And as I get rid of boxes of books with a low likelihood of being read/read again, it is energizing.
Good luck!
PS - used to feel obligated to read every word of every book. No more. I look over the table of contents, read the intro and first 60 pages, read the conclusion, and make a decision whether it is worth my limited time. If not, out it goes.
