yup, whats the point in keeping a book when we know we aren't going to read it again? when I was a kid, I had a collection of about 900-1000 books, but realized no point in just hoarding them, so gave away those that I had read to my school library.
In addition to libraries, you could check out sites like bookmooch.com, I've used this particular site, it works as advertised.

I also am never entirely certain I will not re-read parts of particular books a few years later, and it's just really nice that they're just there, ready to be read even in the middle of the night. Re-acquiring a book may be difficult in certain cases, and takes time even for the easy ones.
