Throw away a book....only if the cat pees on it.![]()
I ditched a single book that I was too irritated with to keep in my home, much less to grant shelf space.
I did that with my copy of Learn Ada in 3 Days.
I take books to the USB when I can. I rescued the hardcover of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that the public library put in their waste basket. Even though the first chapter has fallen out of the binding, I could not bear to see a classic treated thus.

A librarian who can callously throw away a classic like that should not be a librarian. A shame to the profession. If I had a book, I would throw it at her. End of chapter. Time to turn the page.
Never, ever.
Please don't throw any books away.
I'm trying not to. But, on the other hand, I am not trying to rival the Library of Congress in size either....Please don't throw any books away.

The only book I have ever thrown away was one my Patricia Cornwell - not her Scarpetta series, but something else she had written. It was horrid and I felt it shouldn't be inflicted on anyone else's sensibilities. :lol:
Being a military wife, I sort of got in the habit of purging my books pretty often.
We're not??
:
I have 6-8 boxes of books I do not want. The used book stores don't want them. I don't even think the Goodwill wants them. They are destined for the county dumpster I think.
I threw out my New Age books. I could not endorse the horseshit within them so I didn't want to give them away or donate them to the library. I put them in the paper recycle trash can.
