CH Is Purging the Bookshelves. Part One

It's that time - I'm clearing some bookshelves. And I really needed to clean the books off the stairs.
Here are some of the books I am donating to a charity book sale. Some were not very good, imo, so off they go. Lots were okay. Some were great but it's time for them to move on to another reader. There seem to be a lot of big readers on ListChallenges. I'm curious to see what other people purge vs what they keep.
