Which Books To Keep? Making Really Hard Choices Posted By : Paul H. Burton

This is the process I used to reduce my personal library from hundreds of books to dozens and how to keep it "fresh" as I continue to read great works. When I downsized to a small cottage about six years ago, I had to pare down the number of books I owned. This was a huge issue for me. I'm a book fanatic. All hope is lost when I walk into a bookstore. We're talking hundreds of dollars a visit. In fact, if I have less than 15 books scattered around the house waiting to be read, I get nervous!
