Do you keep all of your books?

I mean when you buy books to read, do you keep them if you enjoyed it so you can read it again another time? I do with most of my books but if they are a romance like mills & boon, I don't - If I did, I would probably end up way too cluttered with books.

I keep most of my books. I like my books and they are important to me. I think there are some that I am willing to get rid of but there are many more that I want to keep, not os much because I am going to read them again, but they are improtant to my collection. I think there are some great books out there.

I use to keep all of my books. But because I've been buying so many in the last few years, I've decided I'm going to keep the books I think I'd read again and sell the others at the used book store or online!

I keep my books. I will reread the books again because I will forget what I have learnt from the book. Rereading the books again help me remeber and apply the knowledge in my life.

I usually keep the books of my favorite genres and authors - and I'm running out of shelves and storage space. At last count, there were about 300+ books. Those that I have read and don't want to keep, I will give away to charity homes.

Yeah if it's a good book then I will keep it but I recently cleaned out my library that I had and got rid of a lot of books that I had. They were from a while ago and I didn't really want them anymore so I went to a book swap and swapped them out for some new books that looked like they would be great.

I am not able to keep all of my books, some may be coz friends used to take my books and they never returned, and somewhat coz I am living on rent so when I need some, I go to home and get it from there...

I always keep my books. I actually prefer to buy books than to get them from the library, because the things I know I want to read are probably things that I am going to want to read again. Same thing with movies that I want to see at home on my computer (no DVD on my old TV, but I have one in the laptop). I am re-reading a book today, as a matter of fact. I bought it when I lived near Phoenix, and we went into town to Borders, on a shopping spree.
