To each their own! Before switching to app development, I was an English teacher. I moved several times with a ton of books and art and objects, but that shit is a bear to move with. So I gradually winnowed it all down to just a couple bookshelves and a Kindle.

These days, once I read a book, I usually divest myself of it unless it's absolutely amazing or I need to refer to it. I found out my neighbor has made a living by writing, and his house is full of books. It fits his personality as a historian. But I love my mostly bare, white walls. Keeping so many books around would feel to me like keeping a bunch of tabs permanently open in the browser -- ick!
