We are a media intensive household - lots of books, DVDs, and CDs - oh so hard to part with any. We've done some book purging in the past, mostly paperbacks, but there are some we'll always retain - the art books, philosophy books, sex books, fairy tales, and favorite authors - though that changes over time.

DVDs snuck up on us - Videos were never a problem becasue the one's we wanted were $70 or more. DVDs are cheaper than CDs these days - go figure - but becasue of that we've established quite a collection of favorites.

CDs is a tough one for me - even though the first thing I do when I get a new CD is rip it and download it to my iPod, I still like having the physical object and can't get into buying an mp3s ( though I love surfing music in the old days of napster). Perhaps someday I'll give up my Luddite ways in that respect
