books

Zen isn't going to be taking his big bookcases with him to Portland. Smart move. Cost more to move them than to replace them. So I'm going to buy them from him. Rob questioned that, saying that I've been getting rid of books and do I need more bookcases? I am going to tell him the truth. Part of the reason I got rid of my books was the fact that I was feeling very weighted down and I had so many that I knew I would never read. What I didn't tell him before is that I gave away a lot more than I should have, simply because I was afraid. I feel insecure. I worry that I might have to move and I don't want to have too much to move. I just went too far. I got rid of a lot of books that I now wish I hadn't. Oh well. Knowing myself a little better now. I already knew that, really. Apparently I had to pay the price of some good books to really slam it into my extremely dense psyche. I'm not going to do the book dump again. I won't keep books I don't like or will never read again. But I'm not going to dump books I really like and will read again. I'll either pass them to the library or to someone I know will like it.
