Do any of you just buy books to add them to your library?

Knowing you may not get to them for a while?

What do you do, do you only add it to your library if you read it?

Do you limit yourself when you see books and say you already have a waitlist at home?

The only thing that stops my book buying is storage space. I…… I may have a problem.

Yup, your problem is that you haven't realized books can be used as building material for more book storage. I recommend finding thick books that disappointed you for bricks, otherwise it might be a distressing process.

I once lost my wife for 3 days. I had left her by the stacks of CS Lewis books for only a moment. 😄
