One thing I have learned over the years - especially with non-fiction - is within a month or two of decluttering the books I "no longer want"... I miss them, or I needed to check some piece of information that was in it. Fiction in many cases I know I won't read it again and that's less of a wrench (although there has been one or two exceptions). But sometimes the time just hast to be right. I've had books that I tried to read them when I first bought them, and haven't got very far. They've then sat on my shelf for several years, I've picked them up again and read I so enjoyed them that I read them very quickly. Oh, and by the way, I'm a new subscriber. I can't believe your videos aren't getting more views.
@ashleyp.4932 i sometimes end up re-buying books i decluttered for whatever reason. I love thrifting and there are so many options around that I'm constantly running into books i let go. It's an ongoing process to get my collection to fit my needs in the moment. Thank you for watching! I love making these videos!
I take mine to little free libraries.

Love these videos, thank you for uploading :D
Early on you call a couple of books weird, but you didn't say that about Naked Lunch!
@@Jasonbookcollecting i still haven't read it.
ok, that's why! It's very weird.
@@Jasonbookcollecting is it worth reading?
I think William Burroughs is interesting. Maybe read the Wikipedia on him and Naked Lunch first and then decide.
