The overwhelming majority of it is stuff I'll never, ever, look at, but I can't bring myself to hit the "delete" key. Disk space is cheap.

EDIT: I exaggerated slightly. I've just checked and it's actually 31.6GB.
Ah, so sounds like you had what the emulation scene calls "pokerom", where you "gotta catch 'em all".

I guess that's one thing I've not had in regards to ebooks. I only get what I want to read, and what I want to read soon. When I get too much of a backlog, I start feeling guilty and want to rush what I am reading, which ultimately makes me less likely to read since I burn out a little.
