Reading is not writing. Nor is it code. It might be book collecting! But it's hoped that acquisition of books is for good reasons, and keeping them is because they're useful or sentimental. Rarely is it worth buying or selling them for reasons related to their market value, I think. This site catalogues 39 of my books.
