Do you buy and pile them?

How many that I've got? Around ten? I love to read books. Prefer smelling that pages than doing it on tablet or phablet. And since I have been busy for a month now, I forgot to read or even finish the book that I just bought, the book is, "The fate of Ten" by Pittacus Lore. That is just one to be honest. I know, you might tell me, what is the point of buying them if i am not going to read them? When books are on sale, knowing the authors, I buy around 3 or 4, and always ends up reading only one, sigh. I am a TSUNDOKU! Buy books then just pile them up. Not exactly ( i can sense some, you got a lot of excuses eh?) Since I have confessed with being like a tsundoku, I will finish "Fate of ten" tonight--the book is "I am number four" series, I am more than half way. Are you just like me? A TSUNDOKU too?

@Lucky15 I'm also guilty of still having old issues of Organic Gardening and health newsletters all over in stacks.

I don't buy but I borrow lots of books but I don't have time to read them. I'm lucky the owners are still not asking me to return them Maybe this long break, I will be able to touch one of them.

wow, that's even better at least you don't need to spend a dime for the new books. but i think some of them are being updated, unless it's a novel some books change over the years.

Books and me have parted company a long time ago ever since I got hooked on to my Net activity.

Net activity is like candy. You can only have so much before you need something more solid. Of course, some novels are also like candy and I feel unbalanced if I read too many in a row.

What is a TSUNDOKU? I always buy a lot of books when they are on sale but never buy more until I read all of them.

I have hundreds of books around the house I bought to sell and will have to give away unless I decide to read them first. I also have more I bought to read that I will probably not finish before I die. In spite of that I still download free books for my Kindle and check out books by my favorite authors from the library. I don't have room for all of them in the books cases.

Nope I'm not into books, the last book i read made me sleep after simply five minutes of reading them. other cases, it would give me head aches if it's asad twisted sort of story. anyways, i'd wish i would have interest in books.
