Here's what you do, pal. Right now, look at every book you own, one by one.
take every one you don't want to continue to own and put it in a box. Or bag or whatever
Once it's in the box, don't look at it again, if it goes in the box it's going, period.
Fix up your shelves, put everything you're keeping on the shelf where it belongs
Go through all those books again. one by one, put any book you don't want to keep in the box.

you're done

While some of the ideas in science fiction sound cool, they're not really very interesting
To each his own though, not trying to shit on what you like

Keep the Doctorow, I haven't read "Eastern Standard Time" specifically but I like him a lot.

Hearing good things about Octavia Butler, haven't read her though. Terry Prachett is a favourite of my autistic ex-roommate and my quirky 30-something Hegel prof, but again, never read him.

Check what editions of the Harry Potters you've got, especially if they're hardcover. Some are worth a lot of dosh.

I don't really know much about the rest of it, except for some of the bigger titles which I'm sure you know about.

>>8984840
You should get the entire wheel of Time series
There's a fuckton of them but it's one of the best series in fantasy

>>8988150
I love that you included tao te ching.

>>8988150
LOL

>The only books you should own are the ones you can download from Project Gutenberg

Donate to a local shelter or three-quarter house.
