Sacrilege or Sanity

Snagged from Unclutterer: Closing the Book on a Bad Read.

Is it okay to abandon a book half read? Is it okay to get rid of a book from your shelves if you aren't ever going to read it? Are there books that are "bad"?

I have cluttered my life and my bookshelves with self help books and diet books and trashy novels and sometimes it, like all clutter, makes me truly claustrophobic. (The rest of the time my clutter and my ability to take up all available space is a protective wall, but that is another issue entirely.)

I have been meaning to "get rid of shit" all summer. It hasn't happened, but articles like the one above (from my cluttered news feed), inspire me.

What does everyone else think.
