I guess I'm a different kind of fish.
I would love to be able to reclaim the real estate lost to my bookshelf--mainly because e-texts *do* exist.
I doubt that I will ever part with a few books, like my copy of _Desolation Angels_ which was the last book I read at University and turned into a yearbook (by having people write in it), but most I would not mind losing. I no longer have anyone to impress with my library (like I did in college), and I have a very small house. There is something to be said for physicality, for texture and the random association of looking over a bookshelf crammed with texts, but I know that I could live without it.
