I have the habit of never throwing any books or even magazines if I can help it.I have some really old Woman and Home , Illustrated weekly of India and Film India , all passed down to me by my great Aunt who was an avid reader.
The pages are brittle, and I got them all bound together.my children love to go through them ...I cut out interesting pages from magazines and get them bound together before disposing old magazines since it takes up a lot of space, as it is my house is overflowing with books and bound copies ... :cheer:
Also, I never give away any of the novels or books that I buy.However, I see that when people borrow books from you they conveniently forget to return the same or when you ask them, they have forgotten where they have put it...
Books are like legacies that you can pass down to your children ..

This happens in schools too.The teachers ask the students if they are willing to give away their books at the end of the academic year so that some poor student is able to use it...I used to give away my children's books each year and so did many other parents ! similarly , old magazines and books can be donated to circulating libraries run by non profit making organisations ...
It is very good habit even i used keep my own collections of books. :) :) I usually in my school and college days, give my books every year to poor friends who can't even by a single book that makes me very happy. i used to read lots of novels and interesting facts. books always provide knowledge

I also have such a habit. From 2005 onwards, am collecting all recipes and other informative topics including home development and parenting and keep them as separate files.
Now itself, i have more than 10000 recipes and a total of about 10 files. i have translated and used here for writing many articles here.
I occasionally browse through my old magazines and every time I do that, I find at least one surprise that I never realized on prior readings!!!
That's true! Re-reading reveals many hidden information. which we are not able to realize in first reading.
Yeah!! And add to that a fresh perspective and better understanding of many things!!!
