What do you do with your Gothic books after reading them?
#12
While I've become quite good at purging unnecessary clutter from my life and house, something I find almost impossible to part with is books!

My gothics have their own dedicated bookcase. It's not a large bookcase, but I have no doubt that eventually the collection will outgrow it.

I simply can't part with them. I like the covers. I like to think that the air in my study/office/library is perfumed by the emanations of their yellowed, acid-laden pages. The smoky-sweet-powdery-acrid-woodpulpy smell of old paperbacks -- I'd bottle it if I could!
