I think I let a brief moment of husband-wife squabbling overshadow the point I actually wanted to make. I'm having to box up some of my husband's books and annoyed he's not available to do it himself.
My husband is a frequent reader. He's just very slow. So, if he buys five books in a month, I know he'll be lucky to get through half of one. The next month, he wants five more and he may or may not have finished the first. It's a perpetual case of biting off more than he can chew. He won't stop buying them, he argues that they look nice and even if he never reads all of them he has a nice library to show off.
I'm a fast reader. If I buy 5 books, I'm pretty much guaranteed to read them in a week. So, I tend to come from the perspective that a library is where you show off what you've already read.
They're different mind-sets, neither of us is "right".
