Default Who else burns their books after reading?

I just donate them to the library or Goodwill but I might start doing this instead.

At first i collected them for my Future library but then i got hooked on to Audio books and the rest is history,

Now i will make my Virtual Library and keep everything High-Tech.

I usually sell them for a small profit margin or i just keep them with me.

Nobody cares to read books here btw. Books and people here don't go along very well. I love my books and care for them as if they are my own siblings.

Haha. I was clearing out an old room for someone and they had a fine collection of books. From Dante and Milton, to dostoyevsky, Tolystoy, Orwell, Marz, Kant. Oh my, it was a dream.

They haven't read any of them.

Thank you, that's a big help.

I'm going to look into this when I have a day to put towards it.

I write on the inside cover of the location that I leave it somewhere in public, hopefully whoever picks it up does the same.

What you've got to do is write one place then fake another one or two in different ink/writing style just to get the ball rolling. Most people are too dumb to think of that.

I only burn them after commiting them to memory. Then I teach them to the next generation word for word.

Unless I know I'll want/need to read it again in the future I try to give books away, and encourage others to do the same. Book should be free and sharing information and reading should be encouraged.
