Usually I would read the book and that's it. If I liked it, and thought I'd read it again, I'd keep it - otherwise I'd give it to a charity shop or send it to someone via http://www.bookmooch.com/ .
I've actually decided to start writing wee appraisals of the books that I read, though so far I've only written one, on the first volume of Haruki Murakami's 1Q84. It gives a brief rundown of the contents of the book, my opinion on it, and the circumstances in which I read it - often a book enbodies memories of a particular time for me; actually, Murakami's What I Talk About When I Talk About Running is a good example, for it reminds me of a trip to Brussels last year.
