I fully intend to at least start all the books I've bought. Someday.

One or two strong-willed member of the thread have had success. Even I, in my small way, have either reduced the number I buy, or at least increased the quality.

OTOH, I've already bought 11 books this month.

But they are all books that I really wanted and were on offer.

Me. I don't find enough books in a month that I would want to read to allow me to build up a TBR pile. Please note that this does not stop me from reading a ridiculous number of books per month. Taking the average novel length being between 70,000 and 120,000 words so from (approximately) 70 minutes to 120 minutes per book. Given the popularity of the novella in ebooks, that drives the number of books per month even higher.

There's this pesky thing called a full time job and commuting by car share that takes away from my reading time. Grrr...

Are you not able to read when you are not the driver? Or is that considered being rude?

Hmmmm.... I do work full time and I won't discuss the commute—at one point, we had the dubious distinction of beating out Los Angeles as the most traffic congested city in North America.

Oh man that sucks. I would go nuts on long trips if I could not read. I grew up reading in cars. My father was in the Air Force and we traveled a lot. If you stopped at night it could easily take three days of hard driving to cross the US back then.

“The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore, professore dottore Eco, what a library you have ! How many of these books have you read?” and the others - a very small minority - who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you don’t know as your financial means, mortgage rates and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menancingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.” - Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Yeah, but then when you retire, the budget for purchasing approaches zero as mine will soon.
