the Question:

When you've read a book, what do you do with it? (Keep it, give it away, donate it, sell it, swap it..?)

Oh the age old questions my parents seem to ask me every time they see my book obsession - "Why on earth do you keep buying books?!" Well here is the thing, I have a problem - a book hoarding obsession, lol. I have to own as many books as possible and even different versions of the same books! Its a type of art for me, I just love all the pretty covers, and the spines when they're facing out from the book shelves, I cannot help myself! lol. So I am definitely a keeper of books (more like a hoarder of books, lol)! I will let my friends borrow my books, but there are rules still such as, if you are borrowing a hardcover you don't get the sleeve cover (I don't want them to bend or get ripped or anything, lol) and if you loose the book unfortunately I will need it to be replaced (BUT! That rarely happens! lol - only happened once) ... So at least my obsession is a healthy one! haha.
