Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My excess books have been sold on half.com, given to friends, donated to the local prison, or just thrown out.
Though I love books, I made the decision many years ago to confine myself to one full size bookcase. Once full, if I decided to add to it, another book had to go. May seem arbitrary, but my parents and sister have bookcases all over their homes, filled with books that they never read again and many too out of date to be of any use. My bookcase has been condensed to what I consider real treasures, not just every book I ever read/bought.
And with my local library and iBooks these days, it's pretty easy to resist buying hard cover books. YMMV
