What are you buying ungodly numbers of books for? To read them?

I am not gp, but I like to have a nice collection of unread books to browse and pick from, not (to almost quote someone, from my vague memory) "shelves full of books to impress others with what I have already read".

Yes, to read them, eventually. Why do you think people buy books?
