Review your books (part 1)

book stackBooks bring knowledge, adventure and escape. They can feel like old friends. That’s probably why it’s so hard to get rid of them.
However, as we grow, our tastes continue to change which mean that some of the books may have just become dust collectors. Be honest, are you ever going to refer to your college textbook again? How many of those paperback novels will you re-read? And what about those books you’ve never gotten around to reading, that have been monopolizing shelf space?
Ask yourself three questions:

  • Is it a reference book that you commonly refer to?
  • Is it a story that you’ll read again?
  • Does it have a special meaning?

  • [LG]These pretty shelves save space.[/LG] An antique book, your favorite from book club or the book you read while vacationing in Spain are examples of books that might make the cut.
    Everything else could be shared with the library, friends or sold to the local used book store.
    Another option is to swap. Here are two websites that encourage swapping: Paperback Swap and Book Mooch
