About the survival rate, based on popularity, it´s relative (I´m not sure if this means the same in English) to a continuate popularity.
That remembers me the week-end houses at the villages, usually have the books that are not popular now: "the Hollisters" "the Five" and so. books that aren´t being read hardly at all now.
When my uncle chose what books to leave in his room, he left there the best ones (for him): in his choice, Dune, Tolkien´s, Asimov´s Foundation...
Now I´m reading them. There were many books that my uncle didn´t left in his room. They are stored at the village huse. But those are not of my interest. They will remain some years more, and then, recycled.
(I hate to burn books. Apart from that "ministry of culture" scene in Indy and those reminiscences, it´s spoiling paper. We only burnt one book ever, the leaflet for the European Constitution, last winter. We said it was worth for something at least :twisted: )
sorry gone totally OT :roll: My youth doest´have still wisdom, but wit :twisted:
