Seriously, though. I've got lots and lots of books just a' sitting on my bookshelves collecting dust. They're mine, I bought them, I'm keeping the darn things.

I either keep them to read again or donate them to a library. As BelenUmaria mentioned, it's tax-deductible, and the library can either put them on their shelves or sell them to buy new books.

Demiurge out.
