Do any of you just buy books to add them to your library?

Knowing you may not get to them for a while?

What do you do, do you only add it to your library if you read it?

Do you limit yourself when you see books and say you already have a waitlist at home?

I used to hoard and display my books, thinking they represented me as a person. About 8 years ago I made a hard decision that I didn't like my walls lined with shelves and I donated all of them except for a few that I couldn't part with. Now almost everything I read is on an e-reader and my house only has a couple of occasional physical books out. I'm glad that I did it, since I prefer my new decor.

Awesome!

The only thing is, physical books are harder to censor and get rid of.

Forgot if I heard Dr. Cornel West say it or another person...
