(same goes for eBooks, actually). I have books I got in my schooldays that I only opened once: to put my nametag in... In a sense I even feel guilty for never reading them... The next survey will be: how many unread books do you have in your library? Be honest!

The funniest part, the books still remind us of the time when we were really excited about books, so we develop an attachment to them and won't throw them out.
