One of my weaknesses is book sales. I hit every one of them and usually come away with a bag full, put them on the shelf and read them at my leisure. Well. All three of the book cases are full now. It's time to clear out some of the clutter - and thank goodness for FreeCycle. All I have to do is box them up, put up an ad and BOOM. Someone will come to my house and take them away.
But...which ones will go? I began sorting through them this evening. There - that's the one Dr. H gave me. This one is one of my favorites. Here's Lewis Grizzard, Erma Bombeck - two of my favorite humorists. No, they've brought me too many smiles and surprised me with poignance when it was least expected. No. They can't go. Fannie Flagg! Those are keepers. None of the poetry, either, can be tossed in those boxes.
I swear. Decisions, decisions. By the time I'm done, the shelves will still be full...but it's like giving away an old friend you can revisit any time you like...
I'm trying.

Been there, done that, still have a full bookcase, and boxes(several). Good luck.

I can totally relate to that! Usually the only ones that get culled are the impulse buys that turn out to be not as good as I had hoped or the cheap paperbacks I run in a store to buy because I've forgotten to bring a book with me when I know I'm going to be in line or in a waiting room -- or something someone else has given me that I know I won't re-read.
