Books like Ramayana ,Mahabaratha with all their editions or what every they call all we have in our home.My father is very much interested towards these.He has no time to read them however he collects them and keeps in our home.How can we utilise them.He is not interested to give to a library.A whole room contains fuull of books of some what 30 years old., he collected from when he was 20 .Vivekanandas,Ramakrishna Paramahamsa,astrological , house hold related and many ., I dont hav much interest in reading books .Most o f the time i be with my system and my work.

Ohhhh 30 yrs old but why he collected if the cant read. I am also not interested and I have no time to read it. But this is a good habit some people have this type of habit collecting stamps, collecting books, collecting envelopes etc.

Habit is good , who said its not .How can we carry all the books to the houses we shift .is it possible.And i hav pets "cats" they try spoiling them.As much he is eager in books and things that much i like my pets.so both are not compromising.And so much dust and if we dont regularly take and clean the books they get spoiled as they are old .

My hubby is a retired professor, we have 5 almirah full of books, some he inherited from his grandfather, we have some on 'palm-leaves' too, he says old books are worth their weight in gold!! Preserve them, one day you will read them.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Kalyani ‘Namastey’. .

I am similar to your father, but with the Bible. I used to buy to many books, and indeed, I didn´t read all, but I had the hope to do it. Til I donate a lot of them to a library. =) Blessings!... Dainy

Wow, are they the first edition? If so, it may be auctioned someday with a high price. Hang on to them. Make a good rack to hold them all and keep them in good condition.

Keep them :) those are priceless. You might not know it yet, but those books are difficult to find and can be costly.=)
