It's a form of hoarding. I have hundreds, if not thousands of TBR paper books and ebooks. Ironically, I sometimes find that the quantity of choice makes it harder to decide what to read next, not easier.

It's hard to step away from the "bargains". I nearly bought the Angry Robot first 100 ebook bundle, (100 for £100), but I have about a dozen of them now, and have maybe read 2-3 of them. And I know that it's no bargain if I end up not reading most of them.
