What do you do with books once you are done reading them, /sci/?
I have numerous books laying around, taking up space. It seems like books are disposable by nature: You read them and then you toss 'em.

Donate them.

Depends on the book. Novels stay if I really like them and otherwise get sold/donated.
Textbooks stay if they're reasonably comprehensive (I prefer to refer to a textbook rather than google when I can, especially when I need an explanation and not just a result), and otherwise get sold/donated.
I'm materialistic enough to enjoy having a big pile of shit but it has to at least be shit I like a lot.

>not having a personal library
Give em to Anon II

Keep them. You never know if there will be a blizzard and you'll need stuff to burn.

Once I've taken reading notes and filed those away, the book goes in the trash bin.
The trash bin on my computer, that is; why the fuck would anyone own a physical book in 2016?

Keep them with me if they are very likely that won't be outdated.
Throw it in the trash if for like a year later there is a new version and it changed everything.
Most of them are the former though, since also i have a cousin that wants to be an Engy so he will borrow some of my books.

1. a physical book feels better, even if its heavier and lacks search function and costs money. i learn easier from actual books unfortunately.
2. why do you trash your digital books if they take merely a few mbs? fishy, trying to wave your 'digital books ftw lmao everyone is stupider than me' cock around?

Why would anyone get rid of a physical book if it only takes up a dozen or so cubic inches?
Space is valuable, and I like to keep things clean and compact in my home and on my computer.
try to recall what had you read in them
I don't buy books.
I just take them from the library and then return them at the end of the year.
