You don't have nice old clothes you wouldn't dream of throwing away? A jacket perhaps? A really great comfortable yet sturdy pair of shoes? A hat? Have any furniture? Heirloom knicknacks for chrissakes?
No to the shoes. No to the jacket. No to the hat/furniture. No to the heirloom. My parents came to this country in 1984 with almost nothing but themselves. What was left in the USSR was already without history as much was lost in the Revolution and ensuing chaos. I have no attachments to anything except perhaps for my journal. Besides, clothing is just clothing. And I can always buy more.
On possession of books.

If I kept the books I felt worth it, I would keep them all.

I'm at an interesting crossroads myself, now that I've got an eBook reader.

Are you truly trying to claim that none of the knowledge you've learned from your books

People seem to lend books! I am in a distinct minority. I don't lend books. Or give them to people.

Library donation is a good idea; you might check around with some local schools, too.
