I tend to keep the best ones, in case I want to read them again, and give the rest to charity shops.

What about everyone else?

I return them back to the library. I don't own many books as i have very little desire to read a book again after i've finished them.

I feel like its somewhat of a waste of time to reread a book again no matter how good it is knowing there's just too many other good books out there.

I keep them all, unless they are exceptionally bad.



Then I give them away as christmas presents :naughty:

Usually hang onto them and then lend them out to someone who needs them. Sometimes they come back sometimes they don't.

I check out books from a library as opposed to buying them. I'd go broke trying to purchase enough books to feed my reading habbit

Keep the best ones and give the others away to friends or charity shops after I've read them a few times or if someone complains about the amount of books I own. We're moving soon and I'll probably get rid of a ton then to avoid shunting boxes of them around.

Text books I sell on Amazon.

I keep them all (unless I really hate them), and I seldom lend them, but when I find a good book that I think a friend will like, I usually buy a copy for him/her to give to this friend.

They become a dust collector on my bookshelf, unless, I decide I want to read them again, or someone else wants to borrow them.

Keep them and read them again when the fancy takes me. I never lend out books because then you never get them back! :P

Recently I have been trading with friends. I used to keep them all, but it was such a waste.

I give it to someone who need it and also I don't prefer buying books from the shop. Instead I prefer the e-books which you can store it for long time and share with others using forums, torrents that is really helpful and it is global way to share with others.

When I finished to read them , I take them in my case .. and after four - five weeks I take them out and read them again . (but not all..only few chapters )
I recommend you to do that .

Add to the stack or give'm to to goodwill...I tend not to buy a lot of books though, considering the library is pretty close to mi casa..
