I am caught between a rock and a hard place! I have to move in less than month, I must go thru an accumulation of 'stuff,' can't take it with me and don't need it, anyway! But, the hardest part is giving up my books! I must have 1,000 or more books and I have culled them once or twice before! Allowed my children to take them. All, except the ones that were dear to me! Now I am down to the 'dear to me' books! But books are heavy and I want have the room and why would I store them! I feel like the knowledge that I gained from my books...will somehow go with them...when I must part from them! This is one thing, that I wish I could leave to be disposed of, after my death! This is very difficult...
I agree with @KKGator 100%. When I moved from Seattle to Louisiana, I sold some of my boxes and boxes of books to Half Price Books and gave some away.
In the last nine years, I have kept very very few books because I want to share books the same that I would share food, a recipe, or any recommendation.
They gave me joy in the reading and, since I know I won't read most of them more than once, they get passed on for others to enjoy -- and HAPPILY so.
