Moving?

If we move away I am going to have to pack my books. We want to get rid of everything and start fresh if we move. It is not cost effective to move everything simply because the price of the truck alone is going to be so danged expensive. I cannot believe the highway robbery that is the moving truck biz. WOW! They are making a killing. You buy some trucks and trailers, so the initial cost is high, but in a year they will have paid for themselves with these prices, and then it is just maintaining the fleet. Replace a truck from time to time. To go from here to Vegas would cost us 300 bucks to rent a pull behind. Think that is bad? It would cost us 3000 bucks to rent a truck to take to Vegas. Holy cow! We could replace all our stuff with that kind of money. Most of what we have is hand me down stuff anyway. So we decided to buy an air mattress, pack our clothes, some essentials and the things we cannot live without and forget the rest. Which leads me to the point... my books. I could get rid of them and start over when I get out there (Not high on the list of options I can tell you that!), I can come back for them later (whenever THAT might be) or I can pare down what I have, keep the most important ones and get rid of the rest. The other crux... what to give up. I have a decent collection of the classics, I have a lot of feminist, lesbian and female-centric books, I have an almost complete Stephen King collection, I have an almost complete Anne Rice collection, I have all the Harry Potter books in hardcover and I have a very nice collection of books on witchcraft, paganism, Wicca and such. How does one choose what to get rid of? I love them all. The last time we moved I got rid of 9 boxes of books, paring down my collection severely. when I reorganized and cataloged my library I got rid of another 3 boxes. According to the book catalogue app I now have 581 books cataloged. I think I have a few stragglers here and there throughout the house and my desk at work that I missed, but I would say I have roughly around 600 books. I can think of some off the top of my head that I would not mind phasing out. They aren't all hard decisions. I could get rid of my random authors... I only have a few Dean Koontz, Fanny Flagg, John Grisham, Michael Crichton... and just the same easy decision is I know I am definitely NOT getting rid of anything by Stephen, Anne or J.K. It's the things in between I am having trouble with. I love my collection of the classics. I have a beautifully bound copy of Dickens' David Copperfield that I pick up out of the book sale here at work that I absolutely love. I have some good Hemingways and a nice Whitman.... so do I store them in boxes at in my parent's shed? Do I just get rid of them and start over? I have already given all my furniture away in my mind, I bagged up all my plasticware and gave away much of my glassware, paring down my clothes will be no big deal, I am recycling all my movie cases so moving our movies will be easy, our TVs are both flat, so they will not take up much room but what to do with my books. I don't have the time to list them on amazon, and I doubt they are worth anything to anyone but me. I am just going to get rid of the easy ones first, and work my way through my collection that way. separating what I can live without from what I can't. Truth be told I could live without all of them, I just don't want to.
