Re: your home library
Oh my goodness. If I had a big enough house, I would have an entire room dedicated to books, i.e., a library (room). I have books everywhere, threatening to take over my entire house right now!
I have 3 books that I'm reading in the house; I'm listening to another on tape or CD in my car, and I'm reading another one while I'm doing cardio at the gym.
Books that I love I keep. I am a voracious reader. If I can't afford to buy the book after searching online for the lowest price, then I borrow them from the library.
I have a pretty big collection of Hawaiian books, including keiki stories, Hawaiian history, music and language, coffee table books, you name it. Those I don't pass on.
Come to think of it, I usually keep the books I buy. Because I like to be able to go back and read them all over again. Books are my friends and I like being surrounded by them.
I've been thinking about doing Library Thing. If I could stop reading long enough to do it!
My kids are voracious readers, too. I used to read to them every single night when they were little, and we'd make regular trips to the library, when only the librarian limited the number of books they could borrow. I think the gift of reading is one of the best things I gave to my girls.
I live within 30 minutes of Powell's and Borders. Ah.. Powell's. I could camp out there for a week. At least.
Now some paperbacks that are just fun reads I recycle through Bookcrossing. That is FUN!
I guess I should mention that I am absolutely addicted to the smell of new books.
