The book was released to the universe if:
-- I had read it and absorbed the information
-- The library has a copy
-- It does not give me joy
-- I don’t think I’ll ever read it
-- My interests have changed
--I read part but don’t think I’ll read the rest
I kept the book if:
-- It’s a volume I refer to for reference on a regular basis
-- It gives me joy
-- It’s especially beautiful as an object (only one or two books actually ended up in this category — I’m not a book collector)
-- I really intend to read it I want to re-read it
