What shall I do with my books?

Most my books are in boxes in a storage room far from home. My oldest books are still at my parents, waiting for a lift home. Yes, my books have a home, my home. And I miss them. I am not planning to read them again but I like having them around. Books are heavy, take up a lot of space and they are a pain to dust, but I am not able to get rid of them. Every time I move I have to pack them, carry the boxes, unpack and find a place to put them. And the older I get, the more books I have. Maybe I should sell them and start going to a library, but I like being the first one opening a book and I hate finding someone else’s bread crumbs between the pages.
