Well, no. Of course not. And certainly not now. But the likelihood of my reading many books bought in the binge years is virtually nonexistent. Every now and then, I do a mini-purge, but the reality is that it's not worth the time to parse every single purchase in regard to its readability. Hence the relative figure and not the absolute one. I'm interested in the direction, not in how many books that will never be read anyway languish. No point in wasting good reading time on sunk costs.
