Seriously, I know what a TBR is. What I don't have is the ability to build up a TBR. Given an outlier reading speed, I tend to go through books faster than the average jackrabbit. See this post for a bit more information.

I will admit to have about 2000 science fiction hardcovers and about 3500 paperbacks including most of my Ace doubles collection still in the basement. When I add in my wife's collection, I suspect we may look like we are ready to either film an episode of Hoarders or open a rather specialized branch library.
