I'm always disappointed when I visit a home with few or no books.

manymoose,

why is that?

are books to be 'displayed' on the den walls like a piece of prey which was shot and preserved by the taxidermist?

you do realize of course, there are people who purchase old (preferably with some leather) books for decor purposes??

i have donated my books which i've read for YEARS.....i'm not the type of person who goes back and re-reads a book (or view over and over a dvd)....i keep a relatively small library of reference books and some books of poetry, short stories...once i've read a piece of nonfiction, i give it away for someone else to enjoy

i don't see putting books on 'display' as though they were notches on a gunbelt, as a testament to literacy...

so, save a tree, donate your books
