This is my last group of books going to the library. The great spring clean is done. The book cases are not quite as full as they once were. But some nifty books found happy homes; a few went directly to friends. That made me feel great. And I got a chance to flip throughContinue reading “…And the Spring Clean is Complete”

Spring Clean #21
This group of books from the last shelf in my great clean-out of books. Of course, it will soon be covered in books from other parts of the house, but that’s a matter for another day. I have a chance to wipe the dust off in momentary triumph and rearrange the whole bookshelf. Yeah. TheContinue reading “Spring Clean #21”
Five More Books Off to the Library/Spring Clean #20
This is this week’s group of books going to the library. As always, lots of fond memories. I’m surprised I’ve had the Vonnegut book this long. I believe I read it sometime around 1990. The sad part of donating all these books is as fast as I clear off the shelves, they fill up againContinue reading “Five More Books Off to the Library/Spring Clean #20”
Spring Clean #19 The End is in Sight
With this group of books, the end approaches for the spring cleaning I originally intended. I have less than a shelf to go. That means, I can clean off an end table or two and put books on a freshly dusted off shelf. The Stuff: As journalist Seierstad recounts in her foreword, she met ShahContinue reading “Spring Clean #19 The End is in Sight”
Spring Clean #18
This is the next group of books to go to the library. The end is in sight. The current shelf is nearly clear. The single remaining shelf is only half full. I will miss these books, but I like the idea of other people enjoying them—and having shelves to put stray books on. The Stuff:Continue reading “Spring Clean #18”
Books for the Library #14
This is the next group of books set aside for donation to the local library. I’ll be dropping this set off on September 15. If anyone wants any of these between then and now, let me know, and I’ll get it to you. As always, re-reading these books brings back happy memories. I hope theyContinue reading “Books for the Library #14”
Spring Clean #11 Five More Books
This is the next group of books set aside for donation. They were all informative and I have fond memories of them. Even Johnson’s book, which I consider propaganda at least made me think. I meant to get back to this sooner, but a bout of pneumonia waylaid me. The final decision on the JeffreyContinue reading “Spring Clean #11 Five More Books”
Spring Clean #10 Five More Books
This is the tenth group of books I’m getting ready to drop off for donation. With this group gone, my second shelf is cleared—“cleared” being a relative term, of course. I get a chance to wipe it down and fill it with books that have been lying around the house. Writing about the book donationsContinue reading “Spring Clean #10 Five More Books”
Spring Clean #8 Five More Books
This is my next installment of spring cleaning and saying goodbye to five more books. I look forward to cleaning off a second shelf—so I can fill it up again. I don’t have to go shopping or anything. I have enough books lying around the house. Hence, the need to get rid of some ofContinue reading “Spring Clean #8 Five More Books”
Spring Clean #7 Five More Books
This is my next group of books to be donated to the library. Reading these over for writing these posts brings back a lot of memories. It’s nice and nostalgic to go through these books one last time before they go on to their new (I hope) homes. A Peace to End All Peace: TheContinue reading “Spring Clean #7 Five More Books”
