    I buy books and intend to read them but never do, but I never buy a book because 'it has nice cover' that would be intellectually void and a waste of tree.

    You could make paper mache, and some posters out of the interesting covers you collect.

    I don't se the difference in collecting books or collecting Artwork or collecting anything for that matter. If having books makes you happy go for it.

    Don't judge a book by its cover.

  • I'm kinda like you but with video games. I've bought a good 20 games and still haven't touched any of them <.< I blame a certain woman for this!

    If you couldn't afford to buy books so easily, would you better appreciate them? I think so; I'll bet you wouldn't have a single book you haven't read if that were the case. I enjoy reading, but I sure don't have the means right now to purchase new books. For now I don't have much time to dedicate to reading books either.

    One day you'll probably want to read them. I love collecting books.

    I have a ton of magazines I never read but I can't get rid of them. They're nice to have available in case I decide to read one.

    I'm extremely good at buying books i want to read, but not as good at reading all of them. I always have a few different ones I'm reading at the same time. I eventually get to most of them, but it's just a time thing.

    I buy books thinking I'll read them and find them usefull but rarely do. I do go through them, I mostly have non-fiction books so I just read little bits of them.
