A lot of us here have very large to be read stacks and frequently spend a large chunk of their incomes on both printed and electronic books. This begs the obvious question what is a sucessfull method to limit the growth of the to be read stack and restrain our urges to spend a sizable chunk of our family income on books? I have always found that the best way to accomplish this feet is to limit the sources that I buy from. I buy printed books from Gold Eagle, a division of Harlaquin books who publish the Mack Bolan saga of books (for those who are interested in the mack bolan books here is a web site that talks all about them - mackbolan.com, and readgoldeagle.blogspot.com) and Baen's monthly bundle. Since the sources are limited that puts a lid on the cost that I am spending each month to entertain myself. Obviously since they are free of charge I am welcome to acquire any of the free books from Amazon, Baen or wherever I might find them. I bet other members have different ways to limit the to be read stack and avoid reading themselves out of the monthly rent or mortgage.
