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!
