Did you throw away all of your college textbooks and regret it?
What have you done?
No, I rarely part with a book under any circumstances. Of course, the downside to this is that my apartment looks like that of the book dealer guy from that movie Unfaithful. I've long overflowed all of my shelf space, and now have books stacked up all around the place. I keep meaning to pitch some of the obviously no-longer-useful ones (especially the ones on obsolete, closed-source, proprietary technologies like ASP, ActiveX, etc.) but I have a real strong aversion to throwing books out.
