if you have somebody who might want to read them. I bought the whole series but now I wish I hadn't. I didn't like them that much, but every book left me just curious enough that I eventually bought the next one. Now I have all these huge books that take up space but I'm never going to read again. And they are a bit ragged so I doubt I can sell them to a used book store. (they took me so long to get through I carried them around a lot) So I say if you can get some use out of the books you spent money on...I'd let them read 'em and see how bad they are for themselves.
