The way I see it, a lot of my books are on my shelf through mere inertia, not because of any great love for them. They just happened to be physical when I acquired them, and as such, disposing of them is extra work. So they sit there.

In the future, I think I'll be reading books on my kindle, and then I'll consider whether the book merits a meatspace presence in my life. If so, I'll pick up a copy.

In the end, I'll likely have fewer books on my shelves, but what I do have will be a more meaningful representation of my tastes and values.
