Library

[guidoeekhaut]

Reducing my library. One day, we'll have to move from this house to a smaller place, as prices of energy keep mounting steeply. Less room for books. The hardest question is not what to keep. I find I lost interest to quite a lot of stuff I accumulated over the years. The hardest question: how to reduce the further buying of books, since so many

You can fit about 1500 books on a digital reader like a Kindle which weighs about 250 grams.

Good question! I dislike e-readers etc. because work at PCs is daily routine & I enjoy to read a REAL book with this special smell and the feeling of turning the pages with my hand. Kind of nostalgia, I think.

I reduce my old books regularly because I live in a small flat. Sounds weird, but I do it like I do it with old clothes ;) What ran out of my personal fashion? What 'rottens' in the back of the closet, what wouldn't I wear anymore? Then I decide what could be thrown away, what could be selled.
