Treasured possessions

I picked up the first Dragonlance book on holiday in Pitlochry. I was twelve. Can I really get rid of a trilogy of books I've been carrying around for nearly two thirds of my life?

Similarly, I have the complete Lensman series - I'm not sure I could ever bear to actually read them again. But get rid of them? After I tracked them down one by one through car boot sales and second-hand bookshops? Are you insane?

Anyone else got books they'll never read again, or films they'll never watch, but they can't bear to let go of? (Oooh - Paperhouse. I'm never watching that again, but I have to own it.)

Find a local college sci fi library or (when age apropriate) an adolescent who could do with some escapism and mind broadening. That's what I do with all my stuff that I will never read again, but can't bear to send off into the wilds.
