Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
Think about the traditions in your family.
Do you hate any of them ... and do them anyway?
Or have you chosen to let some fall by the wayside?

I have my own tradition about books: I re-read the really good ones. I have just added this book to my Kindle because I haven't read it in awhile. The cover Amazon showed me is NOT the cover of the paperback copy I've read in the past (more than once), but here's the latest cover.
In this seminal book, Berger and Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, the authors go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledge — the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people. When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term "social construction," effectively creating a new thought and transforming Western philosophy.

Having a personal tradition that’s all yours is a new spin on this word — I always think of it as a social construct more than just something we do. But I like your personal tradition.

Congratulations to your grandson! That is an excellent profession.
Job well done by your grandson! I tend to only keep the books that "hit" me in some way. It's interesting to look back over my shelves of kept books to see what I found important/relevant enough to keep.
I am not sure I have any book traditions. The only ones I can think of are: I review every book I read, I aim to read a hundred books a year, and I share what I read on my blog and Goodreads.
Congratulations to your grandson! What an achievement!
