Not just on the list, but actually bought and stacked on your desk. Right next to the stack of 5 books you previously purchased to read.

  And they're stacked on the desk because your shelf of books to read is already full. Or do I just buy too many books?

    I had to buy more shelves.

      The tables are full, the bookshelves are full, the walls are full of bookshelves, the garage is full of boxes that weren't unpacked from the last move, and my GF drags me to the quarterly library sale. I'm looking for a good lossless compression algorithm for atoms.

  That's creepy. When did you come over to my house?

  Mine reside on an Amazon wish list. I wish I had the money to buy them all and stack them on my desk where I could put off reading them until I'm locked away in a cabin in Maine without an Internet connection.

    Oh don't even get me started on my Amazon "to-read" list. My "saved for later" shopping cart list is many pages long. If I buy half the books saved in the shopping cart, Amazon will have a bumper quarter.

    You really bought 6 books just on Rails? That seems a bit ... excessive.
    - KevBurnsJr 18y ago
      Yes. It is.

        Well remember you can buy as many books as you'd like but they're no use if you don't read them ;) Save that money for a cup of coffee or something.

    Oh my god! That looks like the pile of books that is currently sitting underneath my desk! http://twitpic.com/uyw7 http://twitpic.com/uyw7 I keep moving the pile around hoping a new location will give me the necessary kick in the guts to start reading, but I just keep adding to it.

      I toss books out on their ear* if I don't get to them in 2 months or so. And it's the book's fault, not mine. Prioritize. If the stack was smaller and less intimidating perhaps you'd read more of it than you are reading now. * - They go to the library whether I purchased or borrowed them: http://reddit.com/r/programming/info/6f0fz/comments/c03nzlo http://reddit.com/r/programming/info/6f0fz/comments/c03nzlo
