I never throw any book in the trash. There are too many ways to recycle them.

I don't toss them. I've donated hundreds of books to the county complex (old folks home and jail). They don't care if the books are out of date. They just enjoy reading whatever they can get. +2

I dont think I've ever thrown a book away. If I dont think I'll re-read them I donate them to charity, but books should never be just thrown in the trash.

Who says they are out of date? I have hundreds of books and when they start to take up too much space I give them away to others or take them to a charity shop...throwing books away should be made a mortal sin!

I threw away a Bible once. Well, to be fair, I recycled it. That's the only book I've ever trashed.

I take issue with your claim that books go out of date, they never go out of date. Even factual books on current affairs will remain relevent even once the subject matter has moved on. I never throw books away =)
