Parting with Books

You are looking at a very small fraction of the books I own.

It's a serious problem...I know.

When I was a librarian, I had to regularly "weed" the collection to dispose of old, tattered books and make room for new beautiful books. It was easy. I'd pluck those babies right off the shelf and say, "Adios, my friends".

At home, though, it's another story. I look at my books and hold them in my hands, and even if I am not going to have time to read them until 2034, I have a difficult time letting go of them.

It's time to do an at-home weeding session because the books are starting to overflow onto the floor.
