Sell one book for every book you read.

I want to expand a little on this rule as I see it as too restrictive. This should be done after acquiring a selection of books, having a selection always at hand. You can argue that you should discard one bad book for every good book you read or that you should purge your library from time to time, liberating it from mediocre works.
