If I have a physical book I read I usually donate it. There are very few books I care to keep these days, I already have all my favorites/classics/reference books so anything I read now isn't usually important enough to keep. If that makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-books-after-you-read-them#post-521264 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 11:13:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 521264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them.

Why I love the kindle now, less books to find room for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-books-after-you-read-them#post-521174 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:55:30 +0000 Adira 521174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on the book, I'll lend them out, but I definitely keep them. I love having bookcases full of books, and I DO re-read stuff, although not everything. I'm hoping my kids will want to read many of my books someday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-books-after-you-read-them#post-521151 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:48:08 +0000 autumnlove 521151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let them gather dust for the rest of my life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-books-after-you-read-them#post-521150 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:47:58 +0000 Chillybear 521150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually i lend them out to my mom, aunts, grandma. coworkers, friends and they gat passed around and sometimes see them again months or years later. Thats the one think I dislike about my e-reader, i can't share! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-books-after-you-read-them#post-521140 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:46:00 +0000 pelikila 521140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep them if they are a particular author I really enjoy or if it was a book that I would read again. Before I switched to an e-reader, I would donate books a few times a year to our local library for all of those I chose not to keep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-books-after-you-read-them#post-521129 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 10:43:37 +0000 Bao 521129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you keep them? Share them with friends? Donate them? I usually keep them, and lend them to a friend now and then. They take up a lot of space though, and I never read them twice. I just can't get rid of them though! </p>
