In the past I always read every book that I bought and received, but now I have several books in my collection that I didn't read yet. When I find an interesting book in a shop I often buy it, and I always buy it because I plan on reading it, but some of the books on my book shelves I bought a few years ago and I still haven't read them. I borrow a lot of books at the library and I always try to finish those books first, because I know that I will have to return them after a month. My own books I can read anytime, and I guess that is one of the reasons why I haven't read them yet.

Nope! I buy books and collect them fast, but I read them just as fast. Seriously, the only way to solve your problem is to read more. So many books, so little time, I know! It's horrible. You can ban yourself from buying books until you're read at least ten of the ones you've already got. That's the only tip I have for you.
