My wife: “Why don’t you sell some of these books?” Me: “Every one of these books is my friend.” Wife: “You should make more people friends.” Me: “Dante is a person.” Wife: “I mean real people.” Me: “Dante is a real person.” We have some variation of this conversation every time we move. Honestly, though, I always do end up finding some books to sell. Pic related, it me.

I’ve gone through several boxes this morning; this was the first one my son tried grabbing a bunch of books from, which seems like a good sign. Very sophisticated young man.

@Cheshire_Ocelot@cawfee.club if I ever have to sell my books, I'll have to remove the price tags from the used bookstore first

@genmaicha@stereophonic.space a large majority of my books were bought used, but it’s hard to estimate how many. I’ve considered tracking that but the payoff doesn’t seem to be worth the effort. I typically remove the price labels because they annoy me, lol.

Some books can make you more money by keeping than by selling.
