I agree wholeheartedly. Admittedly I am a bit compulsive about buying books. It's mostly focused on history and computer science. But once I realized the goal was not to read as many books as possible but to read as much of books as possible (especially compared to other sources like random blogs/news), a big weight lifted from my shoulders. I no longer feel bad about having many books I haven't/won't ever finish. But I have many sources on topics that interest me, and physical books are random access. I can always check the index or the chapter list and just read a bit on some topic that comes to mind. Invariably I end up expanding my world view a little bit.
