Food rots. You're still taking care of the books you haven't read, and somebody else will have them after you're dead if you picked the right titles.
> Usually it's considered wasteful to buy a lot of food you have no plans to eat.
And if you only buy food when you have a immediate need to eat, you've chosen the most wasteful way to eat. You'll overpay, create more waste (packaging, imprecise portions), and immediately starve when you lose access to a continual supply.

You'll overpay, create more waste (packaging, imprecise portions), and immediately starve when you lose access to a continual supply. That's why most people have a few days or weeks worth of food at home. Which is also what most people do with books. Having a library with hundreds or thousands of unread books is like having an aerated grain silo filled to the brim in your yard. Most people would say that such a thing is a bit excessive, and "can you eat all that?" would be a natural question upon seeing it.
