Today, it is more than mostly full, and four and a half boxes that were cluttering up Claire’s bedroom are now neatly nested and tucked away in the basement. A careful observer will notice that a lot of these books are rather old. Some belonged to my grandparents, some belonged to Jodi’s grandparents, a few belonged to my dad, and some were mine and/or Jodi’s all along. [...] [...] Well, not so long ago it was mostly empty.

Maybe a Findlay or two, or something else even, if you'd reccommend them. Of course, I'm a terrible book-hoarder, so this could be dangerous...

Numbers 2, 20, probably one or two of numbers 21 through 27, likewise one or two of numbers 35 through 43, numbers 67, 68, and possibly also 85. That said, I trust your judgement and can live without these, although Not Wanted on the Voyage is among those books that I sometimes take down and read again. But I can take it out of the library if I ever need it again. Here's my opinion, for what it's worth given that I am the one temporarily living away from home while you must deal with our mountain of stuff on your own: the handful of authors I mentioned last time you wrote on this topic must stay, at least for now. In addition I'd really like to continue collecting the New Canadian Library. Non fiction books, of course, we should go through together. But for everything else, even if it belongs to me, go ahead and give it away. Some of those books are actually mine.
