Are books sacred objects or easily disposed of commodities? Obviously, I tend towards the former position; I have a terrible time giving up books, even books I know I'm not going to read again or just don't like. I'm half afraid that I'll need it again and half afraid that I'll throw away a book that, in twenty years time, will be a collectible and worth all kinds of money, but of course I'll have thrown it away and live in abject poverty because of it. I love my irrational fears; they're so bizarrely fun!
