I am a book hoarder...I mean I am a bibliophile. I think I've traded in less than a dozen books at my local used book store, and they weren't even really my books. They were gifted to me when someone I know moved. Not only do I love reading, I love being surrounded by books. I've converted my bedroom into my library (wall to wall bookshelves) simply because I love the feeling of having books around me. It actually helps me sleep better because I feel more at peace. I keep threatening to get rid of my bed to make room for more bookshelves. All I need to do is find the perfect reading chair that can recline to a sleeping chair and I'm set!

I keep those I like, those that I don't like enough or hate must leave my flat *lol* :)

Keep, unless I'm not too attached to a book.

It depends. If I feel like I might reread a book or like a book really touched me, I'll keep it. If I don't, I'll give it away on bookmooch.com
