Thumbs up Emotional Attachment

It's hard to break attachment.
I hear you, there are still some books such as my hard bound copies of LOTR Hobbit and Silmarillion that I cannot bring myself to part with. I guess these'll reside in a box somewhere safe until the inevitable. I hope that whoever finds them, after I bid my farewells, take good care of them. Daft thing is, I read the paperback versions ten years prior to obtaining the hardbacks. The hardbacks are mostly unsullied by human hand as I never actually read them. I re-read the Hobbit and Fellowship as e-books only a year or two ago.
