Harry Waterson submitted his personal list of the "Top Ten Reasons To Read The E-Sylum"
-Editor
Drum-roll...
10. Read the E-Sylum every week and learn stuff.
9. Pick up on A Gentle Madness by Nicholas Basbanes 15 years after publication.
8. Read A Gentle Madness.
7. Have a serious re-evaluation meeting with oneself.
6. Call the Springfield Art Museum to see if they will take one's Western Art/Frederic Remington collection.
5. Revise the donation bibliography deleting the books one just can't do without.
4. Give the undeleted books to the Museum Library.
3. Get a 1st refusal on any book the Library decides it doesn't want.
2. Put numismatic books onto the newly available shelf space.
1. Re-arrange the numismatic books again and again until one gets it right. Continue as required.
I've just done some housecleaning myself – first the garage, then my file cabinet, my desk, and finally my library. After throwing out junk and selling/giving away stuff I didn't need, I was left with a much cleaner and organized office. I miss some of my “stuff”, but I'm happier with what I've kept.
