i don't sell mine, i give them away, but i agree, it's really hard sometimes !! even though i try to give away my paper books only after i replace them with ebooks. but some of them i'm too attached to (for sentimental reasons) to even think about it. recently i gave away about 15 books i had been dragging around with me since uni, and i hadn't re-read them once, so i decided it really was pointless even though i haven't yet replaced them ; i gave them at a café near my house which has an informal lending library inside and the girl got so excited looking at the titles i suddenly felt really unsure and worried i had made a mistake, giving them away, and that i would regret it.

but really, how many times do i need to read "discipline and punish" by foucault in my lifetime ? so far once seems to have been enough.
