I just killed a good half hour trolling Manybooks.net to see what was new. And I almost made a Fictionwise order. But I don't *need* anything right now. I have about 40 unread books on my iPod Touch right now, and about 5 on my eBookwise that could not be transferred over. It seems that, while I enjoy reading the books, I enjoy *having* them just as much and for some reason it really satisfies me to have a nice little stockpile. I guess that since I *can* carry around 100 books, I feel that I ought to be fully stocked on my device so that I won't 'run out of' something to read and so that I will have many choices for whatever mood I am in when I turn it on. I mean, I might be standing in line at the bank and suddenly really want to read a space opera or something, and how would I feel then if there were not several to choose from right away?
I am kidding. Or, I'm not. For some reason, the ability e gives me to carry around a hundred books if I want to is turning me into a hoarder. My logical brain knows I have plenty to read right now...
So, how about the rest of you? Do you read as you go, waiting to download new content until you've finished everything you've got already? Or do you enjoy the collecting just as much and are involved in a contest against yourself to see just how many titles you can fit on there?
