I give away books all the time. Some are even brand new and barely read. I just don't have the space to keep every book I buy and I only re-read around 2% of the books I own. Most of my giveaways end up with charities, friends, relatives
That said, I do still keep a rather large permanent collection nearby. I will hang onto a book for the following reasons:
-sentimental reason
-paid a lot for it
-part of a series I'm collecting
-plan to re-read or loan
-out of print/hard to find now
-favourite author

cool! I'm a bookcrosser too!
Even when I donate to charities, I try to use a bookcrossing label or BCID.
