I stopped buying printed books a few years ago, with a couple of exceptions which I kinda regret because they take up space. I love my collection, but it's now split between <20 books at home, and several boxes in storage. Yay, cramped California living!
That said, the bulk of my book collection is now digital, with thousands of PDFs and DJVUs on my laptop, ipad, and network storage. It doesn't have the cachet of a physical bookshelf, though. Maybe I'll print out "ls -R" and tape that to an empty wall?
- bckmn 11y agoI second this philosophy. I have, though, started maintaining a list (~shelf) of readings, physical and otherwise like this: http://www.andjosh.com/lists/reading/ http://www.andjosh.com/lists/reading/
- eugenekolo2 11y agoI too have an unfathomable collection of books of which I've only read 8 of.

- louprado 11y agoWith rare exception, if I read a good book, I then gift it to someone, loan it to a co-worker, or donate it. Ironically a bookshelf might be a collection of books the owner wouldn't recommend reading over some other title. Not saying this is the case in the OP photo.
