Shoemaker's Puzzle

 

I love books, probably more than is good for me. But even I know I can’t keep them all. I haven’t the space, and even if I did, I’d never live long enough to finish everything I find interesting. Unlike most book hoarders, I’ve actually read nearly everything in my collection – some of them many times. Now and then I go through my collection and weed out the ones I’m unlikely to read again; books that deserve a chance to be enjoyed by someone else. I used to donate these to a good will shop, but this past year has made that so complicated. This week I discovered UtahBookPickup.com, who’ll actually come to your house (or business or storage unit) to haul away unwanted books. They’ll then be sold online or donated to thrift shops, book stores, or libraries. I win more shelf space without adding to the landfill. And, of course, I can buy more books!
