I'm giving away my books from now on after I read them
(exceptions for reference-like books, epic tomes, and books with pretty
pictures). Why? I do not like amassing too many things, so less than a
month ago, I resolved to stop spending money on books, and to just read
the ones I already own or ones lent to me. Well! Today, I just broke
(read: shattered) that rule. So now I get to buy them, but must give
them away after the reading.
It makes very little sense
financially-- then again, I never claimed to have a good head for
business. Quite the opposite, really. Existentially speaking (?), it
makes me feel free...free from the bondage of money. When you do things
for free, it means you can afford to. Although I am not rich, I am not
dirt poor, and I can afford to do things here and there without worrying
about how to get something green out of it. And besides, I like the
idea of sharing/distributing my experiences in this way.
