I stopped collecting, prior to Goodreads being "a thing." My guess would be immediacy of access and, often, cost. I have some books I have picked up for rather cheap which go for no less than a hundred dollars now. However, the immediacy is what I would like to concentrate on for the rest of this comment. From the daydream of an extra day off this month to the wish-fulfillment of superpowers, we think about who we might evolve into if we only had a little more time. This extends to woodworking tools and soon-to-be-dusty exercise equipment. And so the presence of an unread book, a DVD still in the sleeve, or a CD still in cellophane wrap becomes a subtle nag as you walk past it day after day. It says ... You could still be this person.
