Secondhand bookshops are some of my favourite places in the world. I love a good (or even a bad) new bookshop too, but there’s something uniquely appealing about a shop full of books that have passed through others’ hands before finding their way to mine. The problem is that once I go into these places, all too many books find their way into my hands and before I know it, I’ve got over 400 books living with me in one room, double-stacked on a very large yet not-large-enough bookcase.
In an effort to free up some space (and hopefully some cash), I’m going to read through as many of the unread books I own as possible this year, selling or donating any which I don’t want to keep. And then, no doubt, buying more books with the proceeds!
The books are listed below, and will be struck through as I read. Wish me luck! Read the rest of this entry »
