After you read a book....

[frozendaisy]

If you know, because there is so much new to read always, so if you know you won't read a book again, or you have obtained all the information to you, as in non-fiction you have studied or your interests have changed, do you donate, lend, get rid of the books?

For instance there is so much information now on the net, do you get rid of older instruction manuals.

Or can you not bear it and keep them.

We have book purges every so often. If we kept all the books we had ever owned we would have no space in the house! Treasured ones are kept but most are sent to the charity shop. I like to think of other people enjoying the books after we have read them.

So many books, so little time! I keep the odd one but usually pass them on when I've read them. I have a mountainous to be read hoard though
