I'm probably a book hoarder haha! I was/am addicted to buying books that I'd never get around to reading. I've curbed that habit for the most part - being financial restrained definitely helped that.

Just like clothes, if I'd had a book around for a long time and hadn't read it yet or I just kept pushing it down the list, I got rid of it. I figure if I wanted to read it THAT badly I would've arranged for it to happen. Plus, with the state of my life the past year or so I haven't had much time to read. If it's that important to me, I'll buy it in the future.

Obviously, some books that I hadn't read I kept. I know once things settle down that I will pull that group out first.

By saying "got rid of," I generally mean sell. Half.com. At least I was/am getting some sort of benefit of it and not just throwing them away to lighten the load.
