When I decided to let my books go, at my husbands suggestion, I realized I would never be able to read them, as I like reading in bed, and that requires BIG PRINT in low light. I told my husband as soon as I found my bible, I would let them go. It was in the first box I looked in.  |
Eons ago when books were scarce, and libraries didn't exist it would be a sin to get rid of books. That is no longer the case. So, into the garbage they go.
Reading is an individual endeavor, and it's highly unlikely that you will find someone that has the same reading tastes as you, and if they did, they would have their own copies and so they wouldn't need yours.
