Books that I got as movie tie-ins, books that I heard were classics, books that I heard were pretty good, lesser books by better authors, books bought because I liked the covers or cover artists, books bought as a last desperate measure, books got by accident from the book club ... and so on and so on. Once I had them there seemed no reason to sell them until years later. A few I still wish I had on the shelves.
