Extended Profile
This year my goal is to read and then release 50 books off of my book shelf and find an additional 50 books that I have read and can bear to part with and find loving homes for them. I am not allowed to purchase ANY MORE books in 2010. I also will try
to abstain from book rings/rays in order to focus on uncluttering my own collection. The Challenge is on........
