This is brilliant! Never mind as a bookseller, but as a passionate, obsessive book lover, I will never advocate ridding your shelf of books that don't bring you joy. As Schofield says, "literature does not exist only to provoke feelings of happiness or to placate us with its pleasure; art should also challenge and perturb us." Yes!

So fill your shelves, fill your home, your heart, your souls and your mind. Get rid of the granny ginch and the holy socks but for the love of reading, hoard the books.
