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 have a strict set of rules, and I've managed to hold on to them for over 15 years now.

  • I never buy books I do not intend to read in the near future.
  • I have a "to-read pile" that never exceeds more than 10 to 12 books.
  • No book gets to go on the shelf of my library unless I've read it.
