Worse than getting rid of books is people that use books as decorations.
I *hate* seeing books in living rooms, on shelves, stacked in
interesting ways, or used to prop up a lamp, or something else that is
supposed to look 'quaint.'  When I get My House, it will have a library
room, full of proper bookshelves, for me to put my books on.  It might
be shared with my office, but that depends on how much $$ I can spend at
the time.
