I spent the greater part of this morning sorting through my books—for the second time this year. I decided to keep my favourite books (those that had the most personal and practical value) and donate everything else. My intention is to make use of the city libraries and local university libraries on a more regular basis. In the early afternoon I took three bags filled with novels, plays, and biographies to a local charity shop, and I am feeling better for it.
Much as I love my books, it can be liberating to prune them – and makes what remains more special. I currently have a huge mound of them on the landing known to the family as Death Row. If I don’t decide soon that I need to keep any of them they’re off to the charity shop!

I totally agree… Good luck with the pruning process!
