When I buy a book I do so for the possibilities that it opens to gather more knowledge and understating of the world. So it feels good to buy the books even if I'm not sure that I'm going to read them any time soon. There has been so many books in my bookshelf for years, even over a decade, that I just end reading later that it doesn't bother me too much. I will read them eventually. I buy what I find interesting, I read them in the order I had mood to. Probably the exception to this rule are professional books. If I buy a book about a new technology that we are investigating at work, or I'm want to improve my management skills I will read it immediately. But in this concrete cases the feeling of awe is superseded by the requirements of the moment.
