Hey Barbara – I’m a huge book lover! I read between 2-3 books a week. Some of them I buy and others I get from the library. Right now I have about 10 books on my shelf, but once I’m done with them I’ll donate the books to the library. It’s a great way to share resources! I recently wrote, this post on my minimalist library. I hope it helps. Wishing you all the best.

I agree with a lot of ideas. We can drop a lot of stuff. But imagine you are already about to end even the addiction to shoes and bags, then still remain books, music and movies.
Any suggestions for house cluttered with wonderful, interested and never aging books?
I am talking about books, they are heavy, have a volume, take space.
I know we could switch to electronic books: but if you like books, and experience a sense of warm just watching them in the bookshelf? I am UNHAPPY withput my books.
…I already spotted in your pages even when describing downsizing programmes suggestions to buy further books to help in the process of the downsizing….
Every good idea often requires one or more books to be pursued!! A travel (guides), a passion (art, architecture, photography), any interest. Any time brain is moving asks for books
Not to mention the PHD…you were mentioning
