What do you do with books once you've read them

Just that really.

I write in the book what I thought of it and ask the next reader to do the same and then pass it on.

Perhaps it's defacing the book but I like doing that and don't keep a book once I've read it unless it's a reference book.

What does everyone else do once they have finished a book?

I keep most of them, unless I really didn’t like the book in which case it goes to the charity shop. We have shelves and shelves of books in our living room and I love how they look. These days, though, I do most of my reading on Kindle or the BorrowBox app, so there aren’t many actual books coming into the house.
