I think a home should have SOME books; otherwise, the person who lives there leads a depauperate life.

oh absolutely....

(but then again, there are those who cannot afford <paupers in a true sense> to purchase books and make good use of the local library, so i could challenge you on that point as well.....in other words 'don't judge a book by looking at it's cover<g>)

i go through my books every few years or so....just like my clothing.....i make a realistic assessment if i will ever read the book again, and if i decide not likely,

i donate

save a tree, donate a book

:)
