Tuesday's declutter

Before:After:

Today I decided to declutter one of the two bookshelves in my office. This is partially because D has cleaned off the bookshelves in his office so that we can move them, so that I can finally take down the hideous golf-themed wallpaper border that resides there. (Parenthetically, I think that the paper is stuck on with some superhuman adhesive, because it's taking me FOREVER to get the stuff off the wall. But that's another story.) Anyway, D says that he will go through his books when he puts them back on the shelves and we will have a load to take to the used book store to get some $$. I was looking at my shelves and decided that I had many books that I really had no need or desire to keep. I read somewhere that bookshelves look best if at least1/4 of each shelf is not full with books. Above are the results! The huge pile of books on the right in the "After" picture are going to the used book store. I think tomorrow's declutter will be the other bookshelf in my office.
