Are you increasing or reducing the number of books you keep in your own personal library?

When I got divorced in 2005 and moved from England to the US, I left behind most of my books, which numbered over 1,000 (as well as many more of my possessions). I've just started buying the odd book now and again, as I don't have much time to read nowadays.

Increasing

i try to keep it level at a ridiculous amount, buying lots giving away lots. It changes drastically when you have to move, believe me.

Increases every few months.
-
been pretty stable the last few months but come winter time it will be decreasing... I inherited quite a selection from my grandparents but little of which I think I will read and I am out of firewood
-
Reducing, I sold a lot of them because it was just getting ridiculous. I knew I would never read many of them again. Now I'm trying to be frugal and just use my good old library card, so back they go when I'm done.

I was unaware that it is possible to reduce the number of books in one's library. I don't believe I am emotionally capable of such a thing...:-D....
-
I've never EVER gotten rid of a single book I've read. I'm up to 4 now.

Increasing....always increasing:)

I have been reducing the number of books. I recently got rid of about 2000. I normally have the books I want to read scanned so my personal library is much less useful. Eventually I will build the library back up electronically.

Always increasing but within the last couple of months at a slower pace. However, I did purchase two new books this month. I just no longer have the disposable income. Plus, I already have over 1,000 books in my collection with about 40% of the books not read yet.

I used to have quite a few, but since I got hooked on the net it is hard to remember what one looks like. Ha ha just kidding. but definately getting smaller.

All my books are electronic data books. They were older versions thrown out when we got new ones at work. I have several hundred. I don't get any anymore, i'm retired. I would never get rid of any till they put me in a home or i die.

Increasing. The only books I ever buy are reference books, and I've got to keep those around because who knows when I may need to look up something. Novels only get one or two readings before they outlive their usefulness.
