I Murdered My Library by Linda Grant

4.0

This essay struck such a chord with me - we're moving soon and there won't be as much space for books. Which do I get rid of, and which do I keep? Linda Grant takes a long hard look at her own collection, books that have very much defined who she is, and culls those she feels she can let go. (I have taken on board the lesson she learnt so painfully ... she finds in the end that she has let go of far too many.) Along the way she examines her (read - any booklover's) relationship with both physical books and ebooks.

Any bookaholic will find this a worthwhile read and cautionary tale.
