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.

i'm really glad you're not listing titles because i know we don't need more books. before we moved, we cleared out about 60 books and threw out a huge bookshelf. when we were unpacking i thought we'd be able to get away with one less bookshelf -- yea right. we had to buy a replica of the one we threw out.

what did i miss? where are you moving too?

Oh it's not certain. Well, we *do* need to move, eventually. But Adam and I have a bee in our bonnet to move to Wales in August. I'm technically enrolled in a PhD program at the Univ of Wales. It's a dissertation, so technically I can do it anywhere, but we've decided to move there - for a bunch of reasons. However, it's not certain yet. I have yet to hear back from my adviser, we have no idea about visas or costs or whatnot yet. But....that's the plan.
