To avoid accumulating books you won't ever read, start buying just what you want to read in the moment. After finishing the book, buy only the one you want to read next. No more than that

>>11735765
based and redpilled

love you too anon

>>11735540
Yes. I didn't disclose to the extent that I do it. Whenever I see a new book I automatically download it. Every. Single. Time. I used to be this way with music as well. In a digital hoarder. I think I like the act of collecting more than enjoying the actual material.

>>11735765
Our pleasure, love you, too!

>>11735699
Some people are mean, but many are also good. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

I recently noticed strange thing. The closer the winter more I read, closer the summer less I read. Anyone else have this?

>>11737168
i'm the opposite, bc of college i have more time in summer and read much more than in wintr

Dammit, I just bought another book on Amazon like fifteen minutes ago. I have no shelf space and I have tons of books that I could read. I even have a throw away/donate pile that I haven't thrown away or donated.

>>11734758
if i keep buying books, ill never run out of books to read
>>11734791
did the guy who used to post these ever release the first part of his novel?
he had a cool prose style

>>11737084
When 4chan is the closest thing you have to a fren that has similar interests as you. I luv u and hate u.

>>11734758
>tfw I just bought three more books with more than 1000 pages that I'll never finish

>>11734758
STOP REMINDING ME REEEEEEe

>>11734940
Because you could always discover some important book outside of your shelf, but you would turn it down because of commitment to your shelf. The list of books you want to read will always be bigger than the list of book you've read, whether you buy new books or not; accept that and move on.

I'm having to pirate more books because I can't afford to keep up with my reading pace

>>11737274
>and hate u
whye fren?

>>11737294
Unironically based. Keep it up bro <3

>>11737298
Please include a frog with future friendly posts

>>11734764
"Rewe", a german supermarket, has already "Spekulatius", a german winter cookie, stocked.

>>11735456
You're never alone if you have a good book at hand.

>>11737296
Because I grew up around you guys we have the same humour.
Like I'm thinking about joining a reading club if I move to the city but it just won't be the same without you guys

>>11734758

I've finally broken my neurosis of buying new books because I think I need to read them to fully understand another book I have and I've started cracking through my to read list. It's a nice feeling!

>>11735765
comfy and cocoa-filled

>>11735765
this, thanx /literature/

>>11734758
I only buy the books I have on my lits (currently over 300) when I can get one of them cheap or find one which I should add to the list. I don't care that I haven't read them yet, more for the post-apocalyptic times when there will be no more 4chins. I just buy 100€ worth of books (usually 15-20 books) a month and store them in my library. Worst case my kids will read them before me.

It's a nice feel to know that one owns a safe copy of the classics which no ideologue can simply cease printing.

>100€ a month on things you never use

Are you rich or just incredibly bad with money?

>>11737358
100€ a month isn't much if you have even a modest income. And living off a good amount under 1K€ a month, still very good with money, beeing able to feed and cloth myself very nicely in a tiny budget which allows be to spend so relatively much on my only leizure activility. I like to thank all my WWI homemaking lit for those skills. It's insane how little one really needs.

Just for comparison, my friends regularly spend the same amount and even more on a single evening in the town.

>>11737372
*Mind you the 1K includes the money I have for rent and everything else.

i only buy a book after i finish the one im reading, and only read one book at a time

>>11734758
I just placed another order for books, this time 7 of them. Last weekend I ordered 5 other books. They're all quite short and will be read between some of the longer books I've yet to read.

I feel good :)

Thanks.

Im fianally ready c&p I bought 6 years ago

>>11737205

>>11737217
When in doubt, see if your local library would appreciate a copy.
