I have cleaned out my bookcase, and discovered there were books I guard that I never returned in 3 situations:

1. Not returning public school class literature books or textbooks, from more than 20 years ago.
2. Public Libraries of cities I no longer live in, and are at an International distance from me, from more than 20 years ago.
3. Friends I have lost wayward contact with but I still have books that I STOLE from their bookshelves, from more than 20 years ago.

I feel like this guilt might be preventing me reading, in some ways. I don’t know where to begin to resolve it effectively to return these books, if they need/want/have to be returned.
