    I have 150 or so stored in a cabinet in the garage. When i moved into my home 4 years ago, i gave 6 large boxes of books to the local hospice shop.

    Amongst the books and annuals i kept are a fair number of 50s- 70s kids books you can't buy today. No modern filters, raw, simple and adventurous. My kids loved them growing up so I'm keeping them for future generations of planet/race slayers.

    It may seem odd but my son wants them saved too.

    I have a 9 volume bilingual Sanskrit-English Ramayana that's over 9,000 pages long. I have a number of Sanskrit-English Hindu prayer books and some German books. I inherited my grandfather's small library of leather-bound, gold-leafed paged, literary classics, and I would like to own the entire Harvard Loeb Classical Library in bilingual Latin-English and Greek-English translation. There was also a Sanskrit library based on the Loeb Classical Library, but they are currently on hiatus due to lack of funding.

    Unfortunately, my reading has diminished since leaving school due to my brain being fried by computer screens, but I still manage to read occasionally.

    I have like 2000 books filling up my phone that I've been neglecting to read. I basically downloaded every book online that interested me and I'm saving them for rainy days. I have way too many books that I'll probably never read lel.

    This is minor reason why I (mostly) stopped using electronic books. Major reason would be combination of reducing time spent in front of screens and the fact I can focus better when I read paper books.

    I still have my books I read from elementary school. So yes,
    There’s a certain appeal to old books imo.

    I really love books, but I don’t hoard them. I only buy the ones I really really like, are useful, or that I expect I’ll read more than once. I get books from the library very often.

    No. I collect a lot of books, but I also sell or give away many when I'm done with them.

    Yes, I am a book hoarder, and it worries a little bit my husband. He says I buy books compulsively. In fact, I buy books even when I've not yet read the ones bought previously. I have a big physical library, with a lot of literary books, travel books, books on art and cinema, history books and religious books. Now, I buy mainly history and religious books.
