no, you seem to be the person 'fighting' about it....calling my observation ' so ugly' and all (interjecting yourself as it were) i was simply pointing out that many people donate their tomes after having read them, thus to be 'disappointed' in not seeing books lining walls in a person's home seemed to imply a potentially false presumption of illiteracy we have a local book fair in my community which receives literally thousands of books donated to raise money for charitable works...it is a win/ win /win situation for the person donating and those who purchase and those charities that benefit from the transaction I can't imagine not having Austen around, or Dickens, or Shakespeare, or poetry books, or quotations, or Bryson- not as trophies, but as old friends. as i stated, i keep books of particular importance to me, but my point was donating books is a good thing....i would rather see my books, having read them, giving new pleasure to a new reader rather than collecting dust on a bookshelf now... do you still want to argue that point? somehow i think reflexively, you do
