One of the freedoms you get if you earn a lot of money from a book is to throw away what you want. And if you throw a lot away, the good stuff always comes back; nothing is lost.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
Money buys many things... The best of which is freedom.
I only keep books that I like very much. Otherwise I'd throw them out.
As soon as I finish a book, I sell the paperback rights to different publishers and that's where I recoup my money.
I spend my life studying that book, and every book I've written has in some sense been a book about the Bible, and that's what I mean by reclaiming its value and its essence for a world that no longer treats it literally and no longer reads it traditionally.
Digital texts are all well and good, but books on shelves are a presence in your life. As such, they become a part of your day-to-day existence, reminding you, chastising you, calling to you. Plus, book collecting is, hands down, the greatest pastime in the world.
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
You must never throw away things that are worth good money.
When I give away a book for free, it gets my name out there. That has lifelong value for me that goes way beyond the few dollars I could maybe charge.
