Books
are a hindrance to persisting stupidity…Spanish
proverb
Weeding
continues here. Once the attic was done, it felt so good I wanted to keep
going. So midmorning I started on the bookcase in my office. Oh my, where to
begin? How could I turn loose of any one of them?
But
begin I did. None were bad books, but they were just less worth the room they
took than other favorites. A lot of poetry books were removed, but a whole
basket remain. I pulled some novels…some children’s books…a few reference type
books I used in the classroom. Some I set aside to look at one more time before
letting go.
I
took my books to the public library where some will be shelved and some will be
put on their resale shelves as fund raising for the library. I hurried them
right down this afternoon before any could just back out of the boxes!
And
before I look too saintly, I must confess to making an order last night to Lou
Turner and her High Hill Press.

I really, really need to do some serious weeding in my book cases either.
And it is never easy.
Congratulations.
Oh Bookie, how I envy you in cleaning your attic. Ours is a disaster but for some reason, I am horribly reticent to get up there and DE-CLUTTER. (The task seems too immense, I guess.)
And I am not weeding books as I should be doing. Can you pul-eese fly over here and help me do it?
Thanks so much for all your visits to my beloved blog. Love having you stop by and comment. Susan
I wish I had your resolve to weed out books. I'm thinking of a particular box in the basement with college textbooks!
Oh, how I envy your progress! I simply MUST get on the job of thinning out the bookcases at our house....Still, the book section is one of the first places I go when I visit a thrift shop. WHY?
I just got caught up on your blog. Wow! You have been busy. I need to declutter this house, too. I know how difficult it would be to part with the baby bed. Put it in your front yard and use it as a flower bed. :)
Cool weather is on its way... which depresses me thinking of winter.
