I devoured this book and started using the method before i even finished. I've been yearning to get rid of a bunch of stuff lately, and so far it looks like i'm going to be able to pare down my possessions by about a third using this method. Marie Kondo is adorable and eccentric, and so sweet. I love her philosophy about possessions, even if it is a little bit strange at times and admittedly not based on science. I can't quite get on board with the thought that our possessions have a will to serve us, but i do think that showing them respect and gratitude makes perfect sense. I like the idea that you can appreciate a thing and still let it go. 
 I can't wait to see how this little book changes my life. It already has, to the tune of three huge bags of clothing and three boxes of books!
