>>It isn't quite as extreme here but I also have piles of books. One of the ongoing projects is to box up the ones that are read and no longer needed and trudge them over to the town library. Without question several hundred pounds of them have gone that way already, hopefully to more deserving homes.

>I totally agree. What's the point in keeping hundreds of books that will never be read agan?

Because you don't know which you'll want to read again. Also, I tend to go grab a book to find something in it. Also, some of what I have is now out of print.
