Oh! I'm getting itchy again...
I'm the opposite, I'm reassured by the size of my TBR file (which includes TBRR for me = to be reread), of my library in Calibre (9000 + items) and in my kobos (3700 in the 8 MB devices), to know I'll always have something I feel like reading or rereading. I remember going on holidays and mailing boxes of books to the place I was going, and still finding myself reading books I didn't like because there was nothing else - especially if it was pouring for days on end and I couldn't go hiking. And I remember fearing having to give up my library when I would have to go to a retirement home.
