I have fewer than 200 paper books and less than half that number on my tab. I deleted dozens of freebies and public domain books a couple of months ago. I have a mental wish-list of books though when the time comes I read whatever fancies me. I have subscribed to a few publishers and distributors, including NetGalley, but seldom pick up books from there. I get a couple of e-newsletters in my inbox that I read every month. When it comes to books, I&#39;m trying not to behave like a kid let loose in a toy shop.Prashant C.

I&#39;m not obsessing too much on my impending mortality just trying to put the ridiculous size of the collection into context. I still have trouble casting aside books that I&#39;m not especially enjoying, I kind of hope they get better.

That may be the reason I am increasingly impatient with books that don’t amuse me or teach me or excite me. So, I will just keeping reading what I like and hope that I don’t get hit by a beer truck. (By the way, if I do, my wife threatens to bury me with all my books and videos, and free up a lot of space in the house.) Best wishes.

I am MUCH older than you but I do expect to live to at least middle 80&#39;s IF I have the same life span as my parents and grandparents. My mother and my grandmother lost their eyesight (to the extent that they could not read) well before they died. <br /><br />I have closer to 1000 - 1500 books unread, but I don&#39;t read as many books as you do and I know I have more books than I can read. I do buy a lot of vintage paperbacks just for the covers but I am not counting them. I will not stop buying books but I do plan to cut back. <br /><br />I totally sympathize, empathize, and wish you good luck. You already have a lot of good books. Just last night I was lusting after all the Anthony Price books you have.

RESISTING TEMPTATION is key. Attractive covers, enticing storylines, a reluctance to say no......versus - cold headed logic.

I agree with your thoughts regarding the &quot;waste of it all&quot; but then I kind of counter it by thinking someone (author, publisher, book seller or charity) has benefited from my purchasing of the book even if I don&#39;t read it.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-54485632253904475472016-11-05T09:39:45.964-07:002016-11-05T09:39:45.964-07:00Good luck in the enterprise.

Resisting temptation is one part of the struggle; I also periodically go along the shelves picking out books I know I&#39;m damn&#39; well never going to read and putting them in a box for a local charity sale, or whatever. It&#39;s a token gesture, because the numbers are small compared to what remains on the shelves, but . . .noirencyclopediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843963811822980754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-66869595322241283192016-11-05T09:17:56.675-07:002016-11-05T09:17:56.675-07:00I won&#39;t divulge my TBR mountains but will wish...I won&#39;t divulge my TBR mountains but will wish you well on sticking to your resolutions. I will admit to being a book-buying addict but the waste of it all when I can&#39;t read them all is even more horrifying. So, I do understand the need to say no. I quit taking solicited reviews several years ago. It can all add up quite quickly and happy belated, belated birthday to you and that you will celebrate many, many more. -K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-32139957708939249452016-11-05T06:17:56.236-07:002016-11-05T06:17:56.236-07:00Margot thanks - hopefully we both have many happy ...Margot thanks - hopefully we both have many happy years of reading ahead of us!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-20575279000214136512016-11-05T04:44:19.663-07:002016-11-05T04:44:19.663-07:00Wow, Col!
