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

Post by Jay Peter »

When I'm done reading a book I usually keep it and put it on a book shelf. After some time, I then bring them to a store for secondhand books to trade for other books, or donate them.

Once I've read a book it either goes on my bookshelf because I intend to read it or because I loved the book so much I can't countenance parting with it. Otherwise, after it has done the rounds of friends and coworkers, it goes to the Oxfam bag.

I do re-read books that impact me or that I just find truly enjoyable. I keep those on the bookshelf, others I trade at the used book store.

It depends on the type of book. It's either i give it out. Or dump it in my shelve. If they become too much for me to accommodate i sell them

If I love the book, I’ll keep it. I love rereading my favorites. If it’s something that I don’t need to keep I’ll probably donate it.
