I did that about this same time last year. I checked the ISBN on Amazon, took the "used" price for all of them, donated them to my library, and had a nice verifiable charitable deduction for my taxes. We cleared out everything except travel books and rock books (because we are rockhounds). Then we quickly re-filled the shelves with mineral displays.
It felt great to get rid of all of those books. My degree was Eng Lit, so we had shelves and shelves of textbooks of the classics. Most of which are available here in the MR library. So once I got over the anxiety of committing to getting rid of books, it was liberating.
