Culling Books

It's a bit overcast this morning, but the sun is doing it's best to light up the sky. The trees are sort of dull looking now - perhaps as the clouds move away their leaves will brighten a bit. But, I think the brightest colors are fading now as the days go by. More browns are showing up. ---- In a sort of totally unexpected urge I spent much of yesterday going through my bookshelves removing those that I don't really expect to ever open again. I have books on two sets of shelves in the Yogatorium I still haven't gone through. But I did pretty well clear out the four sets here in the Cottage. The incentive came from now owning a Kindle after recognizing it would allow for much simplification by eliminating the need for many actual books. (That is, when I figure out how to use it!) How nice it would be to have my library of real books whittled down to those I truly enjoy holding in my hands. I still have, but will eliminate, a thesaurus, 14,000 Quotes, Synonyms, and several other very large reference books that I haven't opened in years. I'll take them to the library and see if they have any use or them. Invariably I google what I am curious about. So, I'm recognizing that all these electronic gadgets can, at least in my case, simplify things. Of course, living on the fringe makes them a bit unreliable, but I can live with that. Aren't we all a bit unreliable at times? Certainly I am.
