I finally went through my shelves and culled a few dozen books that I didn’t enjoy and books that had left no impression: books of genres that I never liked, unsuccessful second and third books by an author whose debut work I loved, debut works that attracted me with glowing reviews or endorsements but failed to meet expectations. At first it was a bit painful to admit that I spent time and money on these, but I understand that it was part of the journey of discovery. Now I don’t miss them at all, and my library more accurately reflects who I am. I am now more judicious about my book purchases having a better understanding of the kinds of books that I enjoy and more skepticism reviews and endorsements. I now favor the classics and recommendations of like minded readers.
