Bookshelves

Sometimes having our bookshelves full makes us appear intelligent.  As my book supply dwindles, I wonder if visitors think I spend my free time watching TV since they don't see evidence of continued learning through reading.  My desire to be clutter free and more of a minimalist quickly overcomes that silly paranoia.  I read constantly, but use ebooks or library books which take up no physical space.

Just because I have bookshelves doesn't mean they need to be full.  As I whittle away at our home library, I forecast being able to sell a bookcase, freeing up even more space.
