I have stopped buying books recently, though. I'm running out of space

And that's not counting my actual physical books! I have about 1200 physical books, and I would estimate about 400 or so of them are unread. That being said I collect textbooks and cookbooks and have quite a few reference books and I am including those in my 400.
I say it is way too many, but I don't mind it. If I ever found myself without a book to read I think my life would end. I keep books in my home, at work, at book-less friends houses, in my car, everywhere really.

Excuse me, but what did you mean with "just not cover to cover"?rd7ht wrote:I couldn't tell you, I can safely say most of the ones I consider unread are instructional/reference books. I have used them just not cover to cover.

I agree with the idea of a personal library *.* but, at least, my sister owns a personal collection of books which could be interesting for me ^^ And also for this, I owns a few books to read yet.hamernik001 wrote:I own less than ten books I haven't read. It is nice to have a small supply to choose from if I need something new to read, but I also love the idea of having read every book in my personal library.

Hi can you tell me in other words what did you mean with "I say it is way too many" and "book-less (maybe a little number of books?)". Thank youmellysw wrote:Waaaaay too many. Right now on my too read nook shelf I have...*counts*....422 books. *sigh*

Hi ^^ I'm curious to know the meaning of "occupare fati suffocavit"rssllue wrote:I am waiting for The Twilight Zone episode Time Enough At Last to happen so I can have enough time to get all of those unread ones finally completed. (Spoiler alert: If you haven't seen this episode, stop reading here and go watch it!) I would only just take much better care of my glasses than the main character did.
