Memento Mori.
You should imagine that you are forced to sell it every day. Eventually you'll either sell it (or donate it (your local library might appreciate it)) or start reading it.
- dctoedt 3y ago> You should imagine that you are forced to sell it every day. Semi-serious question: Which of the following do you mean: A. Every day, you should imagine that you are forced to sell it; or B. You should imagine that you will, every day, be forced to sell it. (I teach law students to spot and fix ambiguities in draft contracts; this would be a nice practice example :-) )
- llimos 3y agoSince it's not possible to sell the same physical item more than once without some intervening event, it's not that ambiguous!

- dorfsmay 3y agoA. OP imagines that there is a point in the future where they read the book without commiting to it. Selling/donating it would put an end to that possibility and force OP to imagine a future where they cannot read it, and hopefully helps them assessing one va the other, and prioritizing accordingly.
