My home library is mostly of two sorts: reference books I might need (field guides, math/engineering texts, knot books, etc) and books I haven't read yet. After all, who wants a library full of books they've already read? If I particularly like a book and expect I'd re-read it, I'll keep it, but the rest I donate.



> who wants a library full of books they've already read?

Someone who thinks he might read them again.


I only buy books I know I will read more than once.
