In some cases, definitely. But even though I might not really want to read them, I definitely think I should read them. So they stay there. Others are ones that are re-reads that are waiting for a time when I want to start working my way through a particular author/series. Things like the early Spenser novels of Robert B. Parker, or the Inspector Morse novels of Colin Dexter. Read at the time of release, in the case of Spenser, and in the early 90's in the case of Morse. But worth another pass through when I get around to it. Or when I'm just not seeing anything much that's new that I want to read and that's at a price I'm willing to pay.
