Me, too. I have this HB book sitting on my shelf that I know I'll never read again. But I have a major issue with tossing books. Its pretty bad, I only purge when forced.

I don't know the answer, but the trend is disturbing to me: When I was a kid, I used to read The Hardy Boys books. While it might be a bit of a stretch, adults reading HP and Twilight now seems akin to them reading The Hardy Boys back then.

I can understand this feeling and I see where you're coming from. For some, this is true (I know someone who reads nothing but urban relationship fiction
)...but others? Not really. I think of it like food: When you're starving, everything tastes good - but when you're satisfied, you're picky.

Don't be.
This has been happening since the beginning of time. It's too late to backtrack now
