I just got rid of a load of books

[andrewducker]

I never actually wanted to own anything. I don't desire to actually have anything that _belongs_ to me. What I want is access to things. So once movies are available on demand, music is streamable, and books are electronic, I can get rid of all of the actual physical objects and reclaim a bunch of wall/shelf space for decorative purposes.

And so this lot were picked up today and taken to Shelter:


Leaving my shelves looking like this:


Still remaining: Graphic novels, reference books, and some things I couldn't quite bear to get rid of (like the Narnia books).

Do you already have access to all those books in electronic format? Or are you working on the basis that if you need them you can buy them afresh?

I did think about doing that; but it turns out I really like owning books and think they make great wallpaper :-p
