I'd only discard a book I really didn't enjoy but I tend to only buy books I'm pretty sure I'll want to read one day. Some of them have sat on the shelves for many years until the fancy strikes me.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-69067226221568842922015-04-24T00:19:17.795+10:002015-04-24T00:19:17.795+10:00Do you ever get rid of books, Lyn, or do you feel ...Do you ever get rid of books, Lyn, or do you feel you have to keep everything?<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510409974009816550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-19815009443066326382015-04-22T08:09:11.456+10:002015-04-22T08:09:11.456+10:00Always happy to help!

I've just bought two new bookcases for the antilibrary - the alternative was not buying any more books so there was really no option. lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-48903894413284748692015-04-21T21:05:06.223+10:002015-04-21T21:05:06.223+10:00I always like to be able to justify my book-buying...I always like to be able to justify my book-buying habits, Lyn, so thank you for this!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16510409974009816550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-25284604521255862682015-04-17T15:45:53.769+10:002015-04-17T15:45:53.769+10:00I will definitely let you know about Genji but, kn...I will definitely let you know about Genji but, knowing me, the desire to read it straight away will probably have disappeared by the time it arrives! I think you'd really enjoy Bryson's English books, you'd recognize a lot of those middlebrow worries & preoccupations you love so much in fiction.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-13580738694020490322015-04-17T15:44:16.432+10:002015-04-17T15:44:16.432+10:00I'm looking forward to the new Bryson very muc...I'm looking forward to the new Bryson very much, his travel writing, especially about the English, is just so funny.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-62158216480712499572015-04-16T23:42:40.174+10:002015-04-16T23:42:40.174+10:00You've just added several more titles to my TB...You've just added several more titles to my TBR list, Lyn! And I must be one of the only people never to have read Bryson, but your mention of his UK-related titles seems certain to change that. I've often flirted with Tale of Genji, so will look forward to hearing how you get on with it.Furrowed Middlebrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065110409019861653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-49399131350661359952015-04-16T20:36:13.593+10:002015-04-16T20:36:13.593+10:00Thank you Lyn for a great post full of many lovely...Thank you Lyn for a great post full of many lovely bookish tips.
