So, how do you feel about your books?

I don't have that many, but I gotta say it's a nice view to see them lined up. I have yet to read my first ebook. I had the penultimate Harry Potter on PDF weeks before it came out in German, I just didn't feel like reading while sitting in front of the computer. Now, with a nice hand-held reader I could imagine doing that. A lot of people are gonna reply that they enjoy the paper, and physical aspect of a book and I guess I kinda see their point too.

Would you ever give your books away? Sell your books?

On the other hand, it's true. I won't read more than a handful of those ever again in my life, even though I liked a lot of them. I just don't reread much. So, I really could give them away. Some, at least.

Have any of you ever thought about why you keep your books?

I haven't really. Maybe I should give some to a local library or just to people who'd enjoy them. Next time I move, at least.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
