What's the proper way to get rid of books?
I mean it's bad juju to throw books in the trash right? What's the proper way to get rid of them? (with the least amount of effort)

just … bring them to a library or thrift store… they're better at figuring out what's actually valuable
If you have one nearby then maybe, but I bet you even they don't want that slightly water damaged, smelly copy of some cheapo 80s encyclopedia.
Around here it's also relatively common to sell old books by weight/volume, either on flea markets or classifieds/Ebay. But sometimes it literally isn't worth the effort.
My local thrifty shop had a pallet of assorted books and you can fill a bag for $5. I think of it like a lazy person's library, I get a bunch of books, pay my dues, and then return them when I'm done.
