adair: stack of books (books)
[personal profile] adair posting in [community profile] unclutter
My total book removal for July is 59. Maybe I have gotten back into stride on the book front' I hope so. It is still no easier to let go of books I collected to read but have not yet, or books I read once or more and have kept on my shelves (or stacks) for a decade or two or three, but I have moved 59 on last month.

I also went through stacks book lists, including book catalogs from the 70s that I kept in case I wanted to look at them for descriptions of books I might want to buy or even look for in a library. I did toss some of them, I consider this a mental achievement, and hope I can keep coming to terms with my need to keep written material that I may never use, and also that I can't read every book in the world, and that I have waaay too many old interests that I need to keep in my mental background, because new ones do keep coming.

Wow, that's impressive! Books are so hard! How did you manage to let so many go if you don't mind sharing?
