My own take is to read what I want most. At this rate, I'll die with unread ebooks and the money's gone in any case. Might as well start with dessert, vitamins be damned. More seriously, tastes can change at least a little over time and if something no longer appeals, reading is not for punishment.

There's the lesson there about buying too far ahead

that I have yet to learn.
