RE: Adventures in Minimalism - Letting Go Of Books
Of course I'm surrounded by stuff! But I keep very little. Almost nothing. I have a cupboard of novels yet unread, for the solar flare event. But I have to trim it every now and then, before it becomes a room of books! It is a depressing reminder of the lack of time.
Yeah, you're in a unique position - all that second hand stuff, but you get to see it go.
The constraints of time really put reading into perspective. A book a week over 60 years of adult life is 3120 books. With 30 on a shelf, you'd need 104 shelves or just 18 of these IKEA Billy Bookcases to hold all the books you could read in a lifetime.
Thing is, when I am on a reading binge, it is more like 3 books a week!
How on earth do you do everything you do and read three books a week?
See above...reading binge!!!
