Won't be a problem for me... if there weren't any new books I would want to read, I could get through the rest of my life without ever buying a book again. I already have so many that I would probably be unable to finish everything before I die. (Thanks to Delphi Classics, mainly. There are some HUGE **** in there.)
On the other hand, if I'm still reading after my retirement and get to live another 20 years at that point, I'll be reading a book a day, probably... that would come down to reading 7300 books after retirement, almost 10 times as much as the number I have now.
Crap. Back to buying again
