Books and CDs (music): What are your criteria for keeping?

<p>Our bookcases are overflowing again, and one of my projects for the next few days (while H and D are watching football) is to conquer them. I can identify two general categories of books: those that are really loved (which are the keepers) and those that we liked and maybe might someday want to read again. These are the ones I have a hard time deciding what to do with . . . Just to take one example, picked at random: The Journal of John Woolman. I really like this book. But I have no plans in the forseeable future to read it again. </p>

<p>Help me before I just donate them all! Or mybe that wouod be the best solution . . .</p>

<p>Just donate all the ones other than the ones you know for certain are keepers in your first category. If you later decide you want to read one of the titles you donated you can always either buy it again, download it on your Kindle, or get it from your library. It doesn’t make sense to keep a hundred books on the off chance you might possibly someday if you get around to it read a few of the hundred. You can also feel good that by being donated someone else gets to appreciate them and perhaps money can be raised for a worthy cause.</p>

<p>Good luck with it.</p>
