@Montaagge True! There is something with having a paper book even if you'll just give it away or just store it and not even read it.
I once had to buy an entire collection of books from a colleague even though I knew I won't have time to read them. There's some fulfillment knowing the books are there waiting for me.
I imagine myself one day sitting in some English solar(?) room reading these books, while birds are singing somewhere nearby, instead of the noise of cars.
