A little more and a lot less

In my daily life and frequent visits to the bookstore, I  find myself faced many a time with a dilemma- whether or not to purchase a book.  Now, this does not stem from any monetary concern (at least, not most of the time- as the books in my sight are rather inexpensive with some notable exceptions), but rather from always wondering where I shall put them.  I know that this has been the subject of a post before, in relation to bookshelves, but today I wanted to add two other bits- one is something a friend (now lost) told me which I always think of (something along the lines of "imagine that every one of your possessions is a string, and then think of the giant web of strings that is tied to your life") and second is that I have a friend who is a class A Hoarder (exactly like the people from the tv show minus the dead animals and rotting food).  So, despite my picking up books often, I find myself often having to get rid of them as well- I cannot stand the idea of books everywhere. Unfortunately or quite fortunately, I will never pick up the ludicrous habit of stacking book upon book and then accessorizing it with a vase or some other nonsense- that bit of interior desecration will never be part of this or any other place which is mine/ours.  With that said, I offer an image for the hoarders in the audience- time to clean up, clean out.  As for the excuses, I suggest spending the time calling 1800GOTJUNK instead.

never too late for spring cleaning.
