a customer at my part time job came in a cpl weeks ago. wanted to build shelves for her fiancé. said she had all her books in boxes & she wanted to finally get them unboxed. I made 6 shelves for her. we chatted about voracious readers & book "keeping". my brother keeps all his, my son might but I have no idea where they are. when I finish a book, it gets knocked around the house for a while & then I donate it to the library

your philosophy?

Some I keep, some I pass on to charity shops. It depends on the likelihood of me reading it again.

I don't buy much fiction anymore, but books on subjects I like - cars, tractors, cycling, I tend to keep.

In reality, I would need to live to be as old as Methuselah to re-read everything I have.

I also have the memory of a goldfish, so I probably could have got away with buying only one book in my life and endlessly re-reading it...
 
I tend not to buy books these days, using the public library instead. I tend to order stuff online from their catalogue then have it delivered to the local library that’s just around the corner. In theory you have to return borrowings within three weeks but in practice it’s easy to renew online and in any case they don’t seem to bother with overdue fines anymore.
