To think keep buying books when you haven’t read the ones you’ve got is odd

[Saymyname777]

Like having over 100 and keep buying how are you going to get through them

You don’t understand book buying.

it is in fact odd not to keep buying books.

Oh dear - you’ve just described me 🤣🤣 I will read the ones I have one day!! There are so many on my bookshelf that I want to read, but I have an awful attention span and spend hours on my phone instead of reading. I really should do something about it haha. Anyone got any tips?

Not odd at all 🤔

Buying books and reading books are two separate hobbies

Completely 💯 my behaviour. Can't stop buying; but don't read all of them.

Agree!

Book lovers are forever adding to their library.

Buying books and reading books are two separate hobbies as any self respecting book lover will tell you. 😅

I do
this.

My pile of "yet to read" books grows every day I think! It doesn't stop me buying new books though.

🤣
Youre joking?

You aren't a reader, are you OP?

I don't think it's odd.

I buy fusilli when I have penne and I also buy clothes when I have other clothes that I haven't worn and I start watching tv shows when I haven't finished other series.

I do this. Kindle style though. Got so many now.

There's no such thing as too many books. Sometimes you can be reading several at a time.

I do this with audiobooks.

This 😂

I have 200 actual books, and around 300 kindle books.
I read around 200 books a year... you're clearly not a reader are you?

I don’t understand.

there is no limit to book acquisition.

Perfectly normal behaviour.

You obviously don't like books and don't need to have all the books OP.

The Japanese even have a word for it, Tsundoku.

Just... no.
Not weird at all.

<stares hard at pile of unread books by bed>

yes if course it’s ridiculous

This reminds me of me.

I keep buying salad and never eating it.

But the fact I've bought it makes me feel healthy, so perhaps all the book buying makes them feel well read?

I buy yarn and cross stitch kits when I haven’t finished or used what I’ve got. It’s unlikely that I will ever finish what I’ve got!

Never running out of reading material is a feature, not a bug.

YABU.
