Some of them are amazing. I also like long road trips, too...I think it all started when I read Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley."Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-3582476371772385342015-07-30T15:24:27.202-05:002015-07-30T15:24:27.202-05:00The section of "long walks and trips" so...The section of "long walks and trips" sounds like a neat one. I am about to have to divide my shelves as well and wondering just how granule to get with my sections and collections. It's proving harder than I thought it'd be, though it's a fun problem to be chewing on. travhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610121052214617032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-49649788235280271672015-07-26T09:27:06.034-05:002015-07-26T09:27:06.034-05:00Hi, Joan.

I hope you'll stay with us and feel free to offer your input at any time...even if you totally disagree with something I said because I do love to talk books.<br /><br />Like you, I do have an account with a local bookstore but I try not to bring books there very often for exactly the reason you mentioned...they soon give birth Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-44891187240020668152015-07-26T08:41:33.216-05:002015-07-26T08:41:33.216-05:00I've developed an aversion to clutter in my ol...I've developed an aversion to clutter in my old age. When we moved ten years ago, I donated about 30 boxes of books to our local library. I regret getting rid of some of them, but most I don't miss. I, like you, have a core library of older books with nice bindings, classics, books that hold sentimental value. Those I will keep. But new books, paperbacks - they go as soon as I readjoan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-37486426181491522122015-07-25T20:52:42.241-05:002015-07-25T20:52:42.241-05:00A few years ago, I would never have even considere...A few years ago, I would never have even considered giving away so many books.
