What Do You Do With A Book When Your Done Reading it

Now that Im living the eBook life, I love the ability to keep all my books, and not having to worry about what I should do with them. And yes I am constantly re-reading them, especially if I dont remember small details, because it is always as good as reading them the first time. (okay thats a lie but shh)

I would not be able to throw out any books.

After I finish reading a book, if I enjoyed it I will keep it. Sometimes I loan them out to friends or family. If it isn't a book I want to keep, I will try to sell it on Amazon or donate it to a library or book drive.

I always keep books I read, even if I don't like them. I can always come back to it, and say why I didn't like it, and perhaps read it in another frame of mind.

My Mom and I swap books, and then they go in the yard sale or get donated.

I keep them! All of them! And if I lend them out I make sure I get them back. I form emotional attachments to them basically and I read enough that I can come back in a few months or a year and re-read it! I have books that have split in half from how much I've read them and I just tape them up and keep going.

I keep some and do a lot of book trading with my family!

I would keep most of my books, but now that I use an ebook, I've gotten rid of most of my physical books. When I get rid of books, I take them either to the library or Salvation Army or something like that so that someone else can read them. With my ebooks, I'm able to keep them without taking up alot of space. I like to reread books, especially the good ones.

It depends on how well I liked it. If it wasn't for me, I generally donate it to good will. If I really liked it and I think I know someone who will like it too, I pass it along. If not, I hold onto it in case I want to read it again.

I keep them all! I want to have a huge library that I can go back and read through when I'm older.

I keep every book I've ever purchased and ever read. Even if the book was awful I just can't bring myself to give it away or sell. I'm a bit of a book hoarder.

When I finish with a book, I keep it as most of the books I read are by authors that I like.

If it's a borrowed book I return it , if not, I hoard it for the rest of my life!

I keep mine all together. I love the look of a pile of books! And I love to re-read books too. Especially if they are in a series as it makes it a but easier to get into the next one, especially if it's been quite a while between me reading the last book and the next one being published.

I keep all of them unless they were really really bad then I might give them alway :p

If I loved the book or the author, then I keep them to re-read later, but if I kept every book I've read, I'd be living in a warehouse by now! Mostly, I trade books with other avid readers or donate them to trading libraries or charitable organisations.
