Looking at a volume and realizing it’s one of my “keepers,” meaning the ones I keep close at hand, had me wondering if I could name a Top Ten list of books.
Nope, definitely not.
How about Top Hundred?
I turned to my mostly Quaker bookshelf and realized it has more than that alone.
So nope, definitely not.
Five hundred? Maybe, but it would be tough.

I pruned my bookshelf by considering Stuff Easily Available at the Library disposable – and donated it to the library. That worked great; I now have room for all the new indispensable books. Sigh.
Now, to find places for all of this year’s Christmas additions! And I was given some treasures.
