desperanceUnpacking, on request:
The further I get with this whole book-packing malarkey, the more boxes I fill, the more rigorous I become in choosing what to take. Which is why I'm going to have to go back to the beginning when I'm done, and unpack everything, and filter it again for consistency with my later harder line.
These are still my books, each and every one of them, but even so. Do I want to keep this? has come down more and more to am I going to reread this? - as of course it should, by and large - and more and more, the answer is a kind of squirmy no, I guess not, probably.... So it stays on the shelf, forscavengers to pick over passing on or giving away.
I am still keeping some that are more by way of souvenir than resource - but only some. And some that I still hope to read at some point, and some that are just downright valuable, and so forth. But for the most part, I'm developing a default refusal, you shall not pass. While screaming over my shoulder at myself, fly, you fool!
