Culling

[theatokos]

Adam and I just culled at least 25% of our books. It was easy. We've always struggled with what to keep, what to get rid of; we've been very stingy. We really must be ready to leave because it was just bam, zap, pow. Comic books, fiction, poetry, women's history, loads of poker books...

(I won't pay for shipping or type them all out, but if you're a real book hoarder I can email you my phone number and we can go through them and if you pay for shipping, I'll totally give them to you!)

My goal now is to work through the books I haven't read that I decided to keep. Hardcovers first, then paperbacks. We are planning to do another cull closer to when we move. Whenever that is.

Poker books! Yours, Adam's or both? We've got our own shelf full of them.

I used to find it quite difficult to part with books, even ones that I didn't really enjoy. I'm not sure what changed, but now I can get rid of them quite easily, and I only keep the ones I really love.

Adam's. I don't play cards. I learn the rules and then forget them. I just can't really get into card games.
