I could not give away my books, even the ones I know I probably won’t reread. I also loan them out sometimes (though it feels like loaning out a small child), and ones I won’t read again someone else might. Plus I go back and reread, or look up quotes or names, too often to want to get rid of them.

Plus there’s that whole thing about wanting a library of my own ;)

Good luck in downsizing. :)

Ha, blogging fail! WordPress is failing to notify me of new comments. *facepalm*

I reread my books allll the time. Several times a week, sometimes even once or more per day, I reread bits of my favorite books. Plus I loan my books out a lot.

Of course, even though I own tons of books I need to read, I mostly read books from the library too.

And it’s true, at least I’m not addicted to crack or The Sims. That seemed a bit redundant–The Sims 3 is completely crack. And whenever I play it, I just wonder, “Why aren’t I doing something awesome like reading instead?” And yet, I continue. ;) This is why I didn’t reinstall The Sims 3 when I reinstalled OS X a couple weeks ago. I have homework to do and books to read and a life to live (and not many virtual lives to live, like I have to do with The Sims.)

You could always keep them!

You could be addicted to worse ;)

I never buy books. Libraries, ftw! I borrow from friends sometimes, too, when a new book isn’t available in the library yet.

Actually, I lied, I did buy a book once because I loved it and knew I would reread it. But I don’t bother rereading most books anyway (even if I enjoy them), so there’s no point to purchasing them.

It honestly pains me to even think about giving away my books. Even the ones that sucked a little, I can’t tear myself away from. Good luck with deciding what to do with yours!
