You do get over the' keeping books' mode.

I think it's important to understand that you won't often get wishlist books - at least if they're new and popular - but you'll easily get other, older books when you search for them. I've mooched more books than I can read so far, and given as many. I’m glad you’re a fellow BookMoocher. I think it’s important to understand that

They notify you when a book on your wish list becomes available, but yesterday was the first time I managed to respond fast enough to get the book before it was gone. Even so I am a big fan of BookMooch because I like knowing my books are going to people who really want them.

This said, the ones I think I'll reread I keep - as for others, I can always buy them again if I need to. :-) When you run out of room, there’s not much choice. This said, the ones I think

A good book is to be read again later. I can understand that, after a while, books take lots of space but I can’t
