Ah... maybe that's the problem. I have decided, no more paper books unless it is a technical reference book that I will refer to many times. Or, it is a book I absolutely must have and won't be an ebook. Beedle The Bard is probably the only book that will/has qualified for that so far.

I have cleaned out my book shelves (keeping a few that are unread and a few hard back favorites like my HHTG omnibus). Every book I've read has been cataloged at librarything and boxed up. These boxes to be sold, donated or trashed soon. My bookshelf thanks me.

If I want to re-read one of those, I will just buy or borrow the ebook version. But, with so many books out there to read, I'd rather read something new than re-read one.
