I wnet through a heap of books inherited by my grandparents and have to say I did throw away most of them…
But the one or other gem is there, like
Storm's Pole Poppenspäler
(probably a book my grandfather read in his youth (before WW1)) Since is it so old you can read it for free:

@lemondrop saidI've just started this. Really good. A mystery with humour and chess! The perfect novel?

@lemondrop saidDoes it ever leave the coffee table or just there as an ornament? 😉
a book that I keep on my coffee table is The Puzzle Universe a history of mathematics in 315 puzzles
good exercise for the brain

I buy a lot of books I will never read
it's a compulsion of mine
being surrounded by books is comforting
but I do manage to read a few of them
