Non-Fiction

I have some idea of how I accumulated so much non-fiction.  I tend to get hyper-focused on an activity and it becomes all consuming.  If I stick with a hobby or interest for a long enough period of time, I will accumulate a good number of books.  My numismatic library currently includes (70) references.

I have often gravitated to self help books to get out of a rut.  I am not sure if these are keepers or not.

I believe in Hinduism, but have only read (1) of the (8) books in my library.  All keepers.

The cookbooks were fun, but my interest quickly passed.  

I have often read business books, but have not owned very many.  (2) of the (3) I am keeping were inscribed to me.

I was not surprised that I had (21) poker books considering my peak playing years spanned over a decade from 1999-2012.  I have read most of them and a couple of them are collectible.  I would like to sell most of these.

The Outdoors and Adventure section has turned into a hodgepodge with adventure racing, bicycling, mountaineering, reloading, running, scuba diving, triathlon and a smattering of random selections that total (30) works.  I have read all but (7) of them.  I could definitely thin this section out.

My (4) training books are primarily reference.  Definite keepers.

The last (10) books according to Dewey are pretty random and mostly biographies that do not fit anywhere else.  The only one I am ready to part with is the Grateful Dead book.

I was very pleased that all of the books I am keeping can now live on two bookshelves.
