I just had a sort of flashback, to my very first library cull, when I had outgrown the kid lit and wanted to clear out the ones that I didn't consider worth A) continuing to reread into adulthood or B) passing along to my slightly younger sister. My mother wouldn't let me, on the basis that the whole lot should be handed over to my sister if I didn't want them anymore, and wasn't really hearing the argument that A) Lauren doesn't read in the volume I do and never did and B) I was saving the good ones and just throwing out a lot of crap.

At least one of the boxes of books lurking in the garage attracting bugs is crappy kid lit rescued from my grandmother's house. I told Mom repeatedly there wasn't anything there worth keeping. And yet she brought it home and stuck it in the garage anyway. (The thought occurs that part of my storage problem comes down to living with a low-level hoarder.)

Yeah, that would make storing your stuff - and keeping it in good shape - extremely hard.
