One of the first items on my post-retirement list was to considerably trim my possessions, particularly the hundreds of books I've collected over decades (many of which I've never gotten around to reading, along with others I've read and am unlikely to revisit).
In the process, I've come to realize that my collecting arose from living in an era of limited access to information and entertainment. Now, with easy electronic access to nearly infinite new and old material, there's no need to do this anymore. If I were in my 20s now, I doubt I'd have any physical books at all.
I can't bring myself to get rid of them all in one fell swoop, though. Has anyone else here experienced something similar in ER?
