Years ago my Father would go to a local bookstore every Friday when the new pulps (Travis McGee, Matt Helm, Spencer, etc) were put up and buy 5 or so books. He would then spend the weekend on the couch watching baseball and reading the books. When he was finished they would go in a grocery sack (paper in those days) and when the sack was full he took them to a retirement home.
With most of the paperbacks I have maintained the same read and throw away. (Except for a complete Bantam Doc Savage series.)
The stuff going out now is 95% hardbound.
