So I went through my room (mostly my closet), getting rid of both the books I no longer want to read and the books that I read awhile ago and hung onto (but now don't want to reread). I don't know how many books I am getting rid of in total, but I am reducing the List by 46 books.
In case you're curious, here are the titles I am getting rid of:

By getting rid of these books, the List is now down to 132 books. While this is still a lot, the number is now a lot more manageable. And now it's full of books I actually want to read.
Between you and me, there are still some books I could probably let go of. If push comes to shove then I will. But for now, I'll hang onto them in the hopes that I read them. I feel better already in getting rid of just this much clutter!
I'm planning on donating these books to the Canadian Diabetes Association Clothesline Program. Normally I would trade them at a used book store for more books. But I think I need to actually get through some of the stuff I have right now.

I decided to get rid of two more books, The Verdant Passage and the Magic Novel Final Sacrifice. I've had Final Sacrifice for years now. I tried reading it but got bored. I've been telling myself for probably over a decade now that I would eventually read it. I've finally admitted to myself that I won't because I really don't care. So off it goes to charity! :)
