I'm with Laurel. Once I cleared out all of my non-collectible books and put the unread ones on my Kindle, I felt a kind of "peace" for want of a better word. I think just having all those books around was overwhelming. 140 went to the public library and another 60-80 were given out to friends/family. Now that the pressure is off, I enjoy sitting down and reading and not worrying about the next book or the amount of space all the books I want to read are taking up. I've read more books since I got my Kindle than I did all of last year.
Now the only books on my shelves are collectibles all the rest I carry with me
