I mean it’s bad juju to throw books in the trash right? What’s the proper way to get rid of them? (with the least amount of effort)

    Check with your local library or schools to see if they accept book donations. If not, there are probably a few secondhand bookstores near you that will buy some of them from you.

          Really? I never knew - are people starting to warm up on collecting Natgeos or has this been a thing around your neck of the woods/world for a while?

              That’d be right, lol - thanks for the help parsing the context, I really did just assume it was earnest

      This is the best way in my experience; I was able to get rid of over 20 filing boxes of books this way while helping my folks downsize their collection. It’s a small way to support your local library system, and I’ve had some excellent finds at thrift book stores/library sales over the years so it’s nice to contribute to that as well
