I'm a retired newspaper editor. One of my post-retirement projects is to reduce the size of my library. I see bookcrossing.com as a good way to do that. When I married my late husband over 30 years ago, he was a high school English teacher and I was in college, majoring in English. I still have much of our combined library — hundreds of books. And I still can't help buying new books, though I'm now more inclined to give them away after I've read them.
