I have some of the same problem, but I'm working on it. As I clean out the bookshelves, I'm trying to apply my brother's rubric: <br />a) does it have a sentimental value?<br />b) will I ever read it again?<br />c) is it readily available in libraries or digital form?<br /><br />If the answer A is yes, you keep it. If B is yes, then you only keep it if C is no. If B is no, you don't keep it, even if C is also no. It's harsh, and I probably will have quite a few books that get saved via question A, but it should help with a lot of the others. It's the ones I haven't yet read that will give me trouble.Rebecca M. Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07260530063164127746noreply@blogger.com
