Do any of you just collect books and never get around to reading them? I readily buy books but don't read all of them, I just like looking at them.
Am I weird? I still read some of them, but I have like 100 books that I haven't read.
pic related, Arcadian Books in the French Quarter, where I get all my books, he's got some old and classic books
At least half of the population of hobbyists don't read/watch/listen to the media they collect.

100 unread books is not bad if you have many more that are read. If your collection is all read books you're doing it wrong. Any reader is afraid of not having a reserve on hand.
My pride myself on my every growing library. Although I haven't read every book on my shelves, it's comforting to know that at any point I can pick from my collection of my own personal backlog.
Having a backlog of unread, purchased books is fine. Buying books that you don't intend to read, or making your backlog eclipse your actual library of read books is not.
Some of my books are there for reference purposes, so I don't really intend on reading them. I try to read all of the books I bought with the intention of reading, but I've been behind recently.
