It's true. All of us in this thread are, in truth, really fortunate to have lots of wonderful books to read.
I suspect that one of my reasons for over-buying is that I have years of pre-ebook era experience where finding enough interesting books to keep up with my reading speed was a constant struggle.
Moving from an era of famine to an era of feast has its problems. But on the whole, feast is better.
This month I've bought five ebooks from my wishlist that went on special offer. And they're all books that I'm very happy to have bought. My book buying at the moment is heavily weighted towards the start of the month when the Amazon monthly deals get released. I probably won't buy another book until May.
