Unless you're happy with mere possession, the only reason to buy a book is to read it. If one is buying more books than one can read (i.e. one's TBR pile keeps growing) then you're not being selective enough.

It's better, IMO, to be selective at the purchase point than when choosing what to read next.

Of course, some of us are better than others at this. I have only just managed to keep my books removed slightly more than my books added this year.

Welcome to the thread. Recognising your addiction is the first step to controlling it.
