Maybe think of it in economic terms? If you can read those extra 18 books in the next two months before the bundle pricing deal expires, all very well and good.

But if circumstances might delay you, then maybe it's better to get the bundle now and save $10 to put towards other books (not that that helps your TBR situation in the long run, I suppose, but maybe you could spend it on booze or gifts or stuff it into savings), and make up for the read deficit later if you're likely to just end up getting the same titles at some point anyway.

And these are also older works, and they usually wrote much shorter novels back in the day. So once you get started reading them, it'll probably go by pretty quickly.

Thanks for the heads up, by the way. I'm not really acquainted with Pohl's work, but his blog is apparently pretty good, and I wouldn't mind trying more of his stuff.
