Since I wrote some contributions to this thread in 2019 I have moved from a flat in a highrise house to a house in the countryside - I took over my late mother's house after she died last year. I have kept much of her furniture, including the white shelves on the picture, but filled them with my own books. Beside those on the image I have several shelf meters of other books and magazines, mostly in other languages and mostly about tourism and zoology and some other non fictional things, but also a few meters of fiction. I have kept a few of my mother's books, like the tales of Jørgen Riel and some very old editions of writers like B.S. Ingemann and Andersen plus some big non fiction books, but NOT her translated bookclub books, nor the books she read as a young person.
I suppose that at least books and magazines in one's target languages also count as language learning materials, but the picture below just shows the collection of dictionaries, grammars and things like that. The tinselware at the top is inherited, but I have actually bought most of it to my mother during my travels (until she declared that she had enough of that stuff now and please stop). And I have thrown all my vinyl disks and music cassettes away. Everything that was worth keeping has been digitized.
